Re: New Version Notification for draft-sbarta-tolerating-00.txt

I agree with Ben that a 1xx status code makes more sense for this use case, given their definitions in https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9110.html#name-status-codes:

* 1xx (Informational): The request was received, continuing process
* 3xx (Redirection): Further action needs to be taken in order to complete the request

Best,
Ryan
