Little practical consequences I expect. This is taken from RFC3167, =
section 1, in 2001:
During a review of internet standards relating to BGP, it became =

never been deployed in the public internet, and would require =
significant implementation complexity. Since this mechanism has never =
been in use in the public internet, it is proposed to reclassify it to =
Historic.
