RFC 2818 contains more information than just the TLS server identity 
verification procedure for https. Besides RFC 2818 is widely used and I 
think moving it to historic would be a disservice to the community. 
Maybe you meant to suggest "obsoleting" it?

One year ago I was trying to convince Ekr to update RFC 2818, but he 
wasn't interested. I still think this would be a good idea. I also think 
that HTTPBIS is a better place for this activity.
