The current RFC4306 Security Considerations section already says:

            Group one is for historic purposes only and does not
   provide sufficient strength except for use with DES, which is also
   for historic use only.  

and I would think that group and algorithms which are historic use
only, are also NOT RECOMMENDED...

And yes, I agree it should really be in RFC4307, but the group is
defined here, so word of it not being recommended, might be good idea
in this document too.
