I agree that RFC2050 is not completely valid with the current state of the Internet, but making it historic will not solve any problem IMHO. Before making 2050 historic, we should think what is and what is not valid according with today's internet, what the technical community needs to recommend to the RIR community and make a new document that updates and obsoletes 2050.
