FWIW, that's noted in the header of RFC 6298. It's generally useful to 
check either the rfc-index.txt file (or its XML equivalent) or if you 
use the tools pages to access the files, obsoleted RFCs are indicated on 
the old one as well:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2988

I wrote a script a while back that scans text for RFC numbers and looks 
up uncited and updated dependencies based on rfc-index called
"rfc-what-i-mean" a while back, and it's available on my tools page:

http://www.isi.edu/touch/tools/

The Perl source code is here:
