It now says:
They are largely obsolete on the Internet, but still see use in
conjunction with some transort protocols such as UUCP, especially for
backup feeds that normally are active only when a primary feed path has
failed. There is no requirement for relaying agents that do not support
such transport protocols to implement them.
