Scott,
Before offering conspiracy theories, perhaps you could read (or read
more carefully) the considerable IETF mailing list transcript that
explains very thoroughly why the protocol should be deprecated.
And if that's too much effort, try the link that Barry provided:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/status-change-adsp-rfc5617-to-historic/
And since even that seems to take too much effort a concise summary, yet
again: The protocol isn't used. Someone trying to rely on a protocol
that isn't used will suffer somewhere between zero and negative utility.
As for dereliction... wow. Perhaps you can explain why the existing and
easily-searchable public archive is insufficient and the effort to
produce an obscure RFC that will likely never be read is better?
