I would support a notice akin to this, however, I am concerned about using the term "obsolete" without having a normative substitute/replacement to reference. I realize that the potential substitutes are not yet in REC status, and will take some time to get there, and that it is possible to add informative references to work in progress, but this doesn't quite satisfy my notion of what obsolete means.
