Moreover, 'obsoleted' means the same as 'deprecated' or

it is a   problem in RFC2026.

. . .I fully disagree with that, regardless of what those
claims of synonymy say.  To deprecate something is to express
disapproval.  To mark something as obsolete doesn't do that;
it merely says that the marked thing is outdated.  There is a
useful distinction here worth maintaining.
