Given that Appendix C.5 discusses unauthenticated cipher suites, perhaps
Appendix B.4 could be extended as follows:

Previous versions of TLS explicitly offered a null cipher (wherein
encryption consists of the identity operation, i.e., the data is not
encrypted). These modes have been deprecated in TLS 1.3.

(At least, that's my understanding.)
