What sort of "support" do you imagine the IETF should be offering, and to whom? The mission of the IETF is to produce high quality, relevant technical and engineering documents that influence the way people design, use, and manage the Internet in such a way as to make the Internet work better. These documents include protocol standards, best current practices, and informational documents of various kinds. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc3935/ https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc3935/ This RFC is labeled "Best Current Practice". What else is "discouraging use of" if not publishing a document that asserts that the best current practice is to not use it? If you want the TLS 1.0 protocol specification, they still provide it in the same place as before, https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc2246/ https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc2246/
