The DES and IDEA cipher suites specified in [RFC5469] were
specifically removed from TLSv1.2 by [RFC5246]; those old
versions of (D)TLS are being moved to Historic by
status-change-tls-oldversions-to-historic.  With no current
versions of (D)TLS left with which these cipher suites can be used,
they are historical artifacts, and the corresponding specification
should be moved to the Historic state.
