Indeed.  I'm surprised to see it on this list.  Actually, I'm
surprised by a number of things on this list.

RFCs 1144 (VJ compression) and 1962 (Compression Control Protocol) are
also fundamental to many PPP links and shouldn't be here.

I believe that RFCs 1377 (OSINLCP) and 1378 (ATCP) are also in use,
though, arguably, AppleTalk is going away faster.  You need RFC 1377
if you're going to run IS-IS over PPP links.

I don't know what the value of RFCs 1471-1474 (PPP MIBs) might be, but
they're they only MIBs that exist for PPP.

RFC 1663 is fairly widely implemented, though I have no idea how
important is.  RFCs 1968 and 1973 are also implemented, but, again I'm
not sure how important they are for the future.

RFC 1256 (router discovery) is widely implemented and used.  I think
RPC (RFCs 1831 and 1833) are still widely used.

Aren't RFC 885 EOR and RFC 1041 regime used for TN3270?

It has never seemed to me that RFC 1618 documented reality.  So I
guess I wouldn't be sad to see it become Historic.
