I'm not sure an expert reviewer could or should be in a position to make that 
determination Ondřej. They could probably put dead/dying RRtypes on a list that 
says something like "These RRtypes will be deprecated in N months time. Scream 
now if you disagree.". If nobody screams after a reasonable notice period, the 
RRtype(s) can then be killed. If there are complaints, we'd know if the 
RRtype(s) are still in use and/or if that use remains valid.

NINFO and RKEY were specifically created for use in .tel. If they are used 
there -- I don't know or care -- they should mainly be seen by the 
Telnic-controlled name servers and apps that use .tel domain names. [Unless 
Telnic's T&Cs have changed, registrants can't delegate these names to arbitrary 
name servers.] Someone would need to contact Telnic to find out how often these 
RRypes are found or looked up. They're the only ones who could say for sure if 
the RRtypes are obsolete or not. An expert reviewer probably wouldn't know that 
unless they asked.
