Based on the statement you made in the other mail:

 "this is a new version of this protocol and you should stop using the old and 
and start using this one”

And what’s written in this statement:

"       • A document is labelled Historic when what it describes is no longer 
considered current: no longer recommended for use. “

I would think historic should be used.
