When we did 6renum current practise analysis, we found A6 record is helpful in renumbering cases. However, we then found it has many issues, which has been documented in RFC 3363 and RFC 3364. If A6 stays experimental status, it is really misleading. We should avoid this confusion by moving it to Historic.
