Now *THESE* were historic when written!  Due to US government
pressure, it took years (and big plenary protests) for them
to be published!  Especially without the 40-bit export
restrictions!

The attack against these was presented at the Danvers IETF.

I had requested that they go to historic (along with 1827)
once the 2401 series of IPsec RFCs were published.  The
request fell through the bit mask.

Then these need the "bad"  designation, not just the "not really
interesting any more" one.  And that, presumably, requires a
"1828/1829 considered harmful" document, or at least a paragraph
and a place to put it.
