When I say "developing from" the document, I don't mean "using the

I don't understand this aspect. If an RFC is deployed, even widely
deployed, but no new extensions are being done, and no developers are
clamoring for changes, you want to move it to Historic? Wouldn't that be
misleading to anyone wanting to implement it in any situation where they
want to interoperate with existing deployments? Perhaps that's what you
meant by "referencing the document in new deployments," but how would
people on the IESG or even in the IETF as a whole know about everyone
everywhere who might be trying to use a protocol?
