I support this. But it also raises a couple other questions.

What about rfcxx99 series, published along with the rfcxx00 series? Were
they ever formally retired?

That's not an IETF matter. There's no STD on this. There's nothing (AFAICT) in a BCP about this. So nothing for the IETF to do.

After rfcxx00 is retired, can the RFC editor start using both xx99 and
xx00 as normal RFC numbers?

Again, entirely up to the RFC Editor. The IETF never documented that particular numbers would be used for such purposes; that's entirely an RFC Editor convention (again, AFAICT).
