Maybe one additional consideration here is that IPv4 was (and remains) a standard, while BPv6 is not; RFC 5050 is an experimental RFC, not a standards-track RFC.  Is it reasonable to infer from this that IETF has no responsibility to sustain BPv6 in any event, that the clear intent of IETF is simply to establish and sustain BPv7 as a new standard?  In which case it is perhaps just unnecessary to mark RFC 5050 as obsolete?

Actually, I like the IPv4 / IPv6 analogy but if you don't consider also that IPv4 did not "obsolete" OSI yet there are still small pockets of OSI deployment worldwide. (For that matter, I don't think anyone ever claimed to "obsolete" DECnet.) In this sense, by going out of our way to say "obsoletes" BPv7 would going against the precedence set by a number of significant earlier examples.

Like with Python v3, which ultimately needed a strong statement (and even a deadline) that it is now time to stop using Python v2 (and even then, the Python v2 is not going to vanish from my systems magically, and there will likely be some people hacking v2 and keeping it alive even beyond 2020-01-01).
