I’d say no. Definitely not without also deprecating TLS_RSA_EXPORT_WITH_DES40_CBC_SHA, and that is out of scope for *this* document.

Perhaps, though we could add a reference to this RFC to all the ciphersuites listed in appendix A?  I see that many ciphersuites already have more than one reference listed.
