Re: Status of RFC 1738 -- 'ftp' URI scheme

I just had pointed out to me that the status of RFC1738 is obsolete, obsoleted
by  RFC4248, RFC4266; it says so in the rfc-index so it must be true!

So, is the status of RFC1738 really a concern, as opposed to having a proper
definition of the ftp URI scheme?
