I've been pondering about this. Is there a need for a mechanism to solve 
cases like this? Should we allow authors to distant themselves from 
previous work, by making a brief statement in an errata? Maybe we should.

I think I could live with an errata to RFC7421, stating what was stated 
and leave the RFC itself in tact. The most appropriate status for it 
would probably be: 'Held for Document Update'[1].

Would that work for for you, Alexandre?
