My recollection is that this has already been done to a large degree.
Also, focusing on this specific set of RFCs would be a lot of work, for very
little actual value to the community.
On the other hand, I'd be very much in favor of IETF periodically reviewing ALL
standards-track RFCs for applicability. But reclassifying as Historic is
rarely appropriate. Instead what should be done is to write an applicability
statement for the protocols for which none exist, or for which the previous
applicability statements are no longer correct.

Dear all,
I've recently received a message from Ronald Bonica, one of the ADs,
proposing undertaking an effort to reclassify many pre-IETF (pre-1000) RFCs
as Historic. However, I initially had a concern regarding community
consensus on such effort, and whether it will be accepted so that the IESG
may claim the former. Since I've already suggested a very similar proposal,
and there was a negative reaction of community, I assumed the same would
happen in the case Ronald pursued the work and forwarded it to the IESG. So
am I right?
