Documents are obsoleted by other documents.
Protocols and technologies become historic by the fact that they're
not/no longer in use.
There is a difference between "obsolete" and "historic".  It makes
perfect sense to say that the technologies described in RFCs 4405-4407
are historic, as they're no longer in use; the fact that if was an
experimental technology isn't relevant to that.  And RFC 6686 did not
make that (Sender ID becoming historic) happen.

It's true that 6686 could have requested that the IESG change the
status of Sender ID to Historic.  It didn't.  And this situation is
exactly what the "status change" document set was created for: to
perform these sorts of status changes without having to publish new
RFCs.  There's no reason to use errata for this sort of thing.

We have what we need to do the right thing, and we're doing it.  Let's
not make it more complicated than it needs to be.
