2. While it is certainly useful to prune obsolete constructs, it is
dangerous to assume that what a particular segment of the community

general-purpose tool for human communications. Human communications
is a very, very rich space. Just because on or another person -- or
lots of them -- do not use a feature does not mean its use can be
ignored or denied.
Most people do not use the feature because either they don't know
about it or because their MUA does not offer such features. That's
not a reason to question its legitimacy. We might as well move RFC
2369 to obsolete status because most people don't know about it.
