Retiring tr.rdf on March 3rd, 2025

Hi all,

tr.rdf [1] has been around for a while but is being less and less used
in favor of the W3C API [2] which provides the most up-to-date data on
/TR specifications (series, editors, etc).
We have kept it around as it was still used by specref but François
Daoust worked on updating it to rely on the W3C API instead [3]. His PR
was merged last month and as far as we know, no other major tools are
relying on tr.rdf these days. The logs still show very few requests but
the user agent is generic and we couldn't identify the tools/scripts
behind.

As a result, we are planning to retire tr.rdf on March 3rd, 2025.
If you know a service that still relies on tr.rdf, please get in touch
with me and I will follow up with the maintainers.

Thanks,

Denis
