[Old-standards] Re: List of Old Standards to be retired

[Eliot Lear]

The way we've been running the experiment, if there is a portion of the 
doc that is still useful then we leave it alone but recommend an update. 
  In other words no status change until someone takes further action. 
Having said that, I will remove RFC 1618 from the list, but it would be 
great if you did the update and in the process then obsoleted RFC 1618.
