This use of the "Historic" status seems utterly bizarre to me. It's
certainly not how it's described in 2026.
1305 has already been obsoleted by 5905. This document simply gives
information about what those control messages were and indicates that
they ought no longer be used. This sounds like a fine candidate for
Informational status. When 5905 (or it's successors) advance to
Standard, this document can be included in the STD.
If eventually you want to move a document to Historic, it would be 1305.
I don't think publishing this straight to Historic makes sense.

Abstract
This document describes the structure of the control messages that
were historically used with the Network Time Protocol before the
advent of more modern control and management approaches. These
control messages have been used to monitor and control the Network
Time Protocol application running on any IP network attached
computer. The information in this document was originally
described
in Appendix B of RFC 1305. The goal of this document is to provide
a
current, but historic, description of the control messages as
described in RFC 1305 and any additional commands implemented in
NTP.
The publication of this document is not meant to encourage the
developement and deployment of these control messages. This
document
is only providing a current reference for these control messages
given the current status of RFC 1305.

No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
