Right, this seems to me to be a waste of everyone’s time.
the more general question is whether protocol housekeeping -
specifically retirement of older / defunct standards and protocols, and
reassignment of code-points - is useful.
There's a range of approaches that could be taken to the generalised
issue, from "they aren't doing any harm", right through to "I have
petrol, matches and a mission".
A scatter-gun approach to this is not useful. A draft examining some of
the issues associated with the general case probably would be.
