How about: the FTP Service will be discontinued when FTP (RFC959) is moved to Historic status.
One of the problems I have in general with reclassifying things
as Historic is that this can lead to deprecation of services that
are still quite useful, without the implications of such
deprecation even being discussed, and without providing any advice
about how to transition.
"Historic" may be the wrong way of describing the situation. More accurately, a protocol may change from mainstream use - where it's the widely accepted way of doing some particular thing - to occasional or fringe use, where it's still useful in corner cases even though it's no longer the widely accepted way of doing that thing.
