It would be better to deprecate only the entity2Compliance statement,
and leave the objects and group with "current" status.  Specifically,
create a new entity3Compliance which is the same as entity2Compliance
except for having the "GROUP entityMappingGroup" removed.  This would
make implementation of the Alias Mapping Table the equivalent of a
"MAY".  There are many other RFCs which are at DRAFT STANDARD Status
which contain MAYs.  I find it very difficult to believe that a check
was made that all of their MAYs were implemented before they were
permitted to become DRAFT.  For example, to take a recent example,
"MAY" appears more than 80 times in RFC 3550; was it checked that
every one of those 80 has been implemented ??
