I oppose to the change as proposed, and support the explanation called
for by John Klensin instead.  Two arguments:

1)  The harm Barry exemplifies in the request --incompatibility with
    mailing list posting-- is going to be a feature of at least one
    of the other ways addressing that problem.  Indeed, "those who
    don't know history are destined to repeat it", and the explanation
    is needed to make history known.

2)  A possible fix for ADSP is explained by John Levine himself:
    http://www.mail-archive.com/ietf-dkim@mipassoc.org/msg16969.html
    I'm not proposing to mention it along with the explanation, but
    fixing is not the same as moving to historic.  It seems that it
    is just a part of RFC 5617, DNS records, that we want to move.
