Commentary from the 2012 handbook:

All required or provided life safety or fire protection related equipment must be continued in use and be maintained to meet the requirements in effect at the time of the original installation. Non-required equipment that has been taken out of service or cannot function as intended must be dismantled and removed to prevent creating a false impression of protection. Simply because a non-required system does not meet the current standards is neither cause to require its removal (see Section 901.4), nor a reason to require the system to be upgraded. As long as the system is maintained in the manner in which it was intended when installed, it can be allowed to continue.

Interesting stuff.
