If we want to avoid ratholes built into the document, it might be
prudent to rephrase that sentence as
"Since the publication of RFC 2050, the environment of the
Internet Numbers Registry System has changed."

I took that section title to refer to changes *in the text* of
2050, not changes in the system. Maybe the authors could clarify
their intent, and if it is limited to text changes, clarify
the wording accordingly.
