What is the reason for Historic, rather than Informational?

I am prety sure that historic has never been applied to a specification that 
was
not previously an IETF standard.  The usual means of labeling an RFC that
specifies a popular, proprietary protocol is Informational.

Maybe because the aim is that DKIM will obsolete DomainKeys with the
hope that implementations currently experimenting with DomainKeys will
'upgrade' to using DKIM.
