Those three RFCs are experimental, and RFC 6686 ended the experiment. I'm not sure what if anything an historic experiment means. I would suggest filing an erratum on 6686 so that it obsoletes 4405-4407 and leave it at that. If we really want to make these three historic, file a further erratum on 6686 which should have have said so.
