The proposed specification introduces an explicit response for servers that recognize instructions needing refrigeration capabilities but cannot physically perform them. To avoid technical confusion, the draft distinguishes actual cooling hardware from concepts like cold-operating machines, frozen software processes, and archival storage services. It also addresses standard protocol behaviors, including security considerations, caching rules, and connections to HTTP status code 418. Submitted as an independent informational document, it will remain active until its expiration in May 2027.

Tech enthusiasts are evaluating discarded mobile hardware to power personal computing projects without incurring additional hardware costs. By utilizing the substantial processing capabilities already present in retired handsets, users can avoid purchasing dedicated single-board computers while reducing overall electronic waste. This practical shift also underscores disparities in device usage, as discarded hardware often outpaces the daily phones used by others.
