I am a fairly good contact point for most things "TELNET".  Back in June
1999 the Application Area Directors, Keith Moore and Patrik Falstrom,
performed a review of TELNET RFCs to move unused ones to HISTORIC.  This
was done in consultation with the subscribers to the [e-mail]
mailing list.  All of the remaining Telnet options were determined to be
implemented in various widely deployed implementations.

Since the requirement for moving to historic under the cruft draft is
that it is not widely implemented, all of these options must remain.
If there is desire to move these options to historic, then the guideline
must be altered.
