So RDP is a useful and deployed pre-standards protocol that was one of the

I don't know how one could possibly make a stronger case for classifying the
RDP spec as Historic!

If "Historic" has taken on the connotation of "this spec is deprecated,
don't use it any more," then to the extent it is useful and deployed,
this would send the wrong message.  Just like FTP.
