All three specs' ED has obsoletion notes, but css-print's TR version does not have an obsoletion note. > Moreover, in the "current work" page[2], CSS Print Profile is listed as "Completed" rather than "Abandoned". Seems to me that https://drafts.csswg.org/css-tv/ 's ED is also lacking the obsoletion notice. So we should add it, republish all 3 on TR to get the notice there, mark the Print Profile as Abandonned on the current work page, and exclude it from the TR index page. > > [1] https://logs.csswg.org/irc.w3.org/css/2017-02-08/#e771462 > [2] https://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/current-work.en.html >
