RFC 4645's status is informational.

The abstract states:

"This memo defined the initial contents of the IANA Language Subtag 
Registry for use in forming tags for the identification of languages. 
Since the contents of this memo only served as a starting point for the 
registry, its actual contents have been removed before publication to 
avoid confusion. This memo provides information for the Internet community."

Changing its status to historic seems inordinately pointless, and
certainly not worth the process energy needed to make such a change.
