status-change-ipv4-address-mapping-classes-to-historic-00 
  RFC 796 [RFC796] specifies formats for "classful" IPv4 addresses.
  It also specifies mappings for some existing networks at the time it
  was published between their "local" network representations and
  IPv4 equivalents.  However, "classful" addresses have been largely
  superseded by CIDR [RFC4632].  Furthermore, the vast majority of
  these addresses have either been reassigned to other organizations,
  or are considered part of private address space [RFC1918].
  Therefore, RFC 796 is reclassified to Historic status.
