I suggest instead to add a warning (same thing for the ABNF
validator). Here is my suggested wording for
http://tools.ietf.org/inventory/verif-tools:

      <li><a href="http://www.ops.ietf.org/abnf/";><b> Harald
      Alvestrand's perl ABNF parser</b></a> (<em>Warning:</em> This
      tool is no longer maintained and has problems, for instance with
      case mapping)</li>
      <li><a href="http://rtg.ietf.org/~fenner/abnf.cgi";><b>Bill Fenner's ABNF parsing web service</b></a></li>
      <li><a href="http://www.coasttocoastresearch.com/";><b>APG - an ABNF Parser Generator</b></a></li>
      <li><a href="http://cvs.m17n.org/~akr/abnf/";><b>ABNF to Regexp converter</b></a></li>
      <li><a href="http://www.apps.ietf.org/abnf.html";><b> ABNF
      parsing web service (has problems with some inputs)</b></a>
      (<em>Warning:</em> it is extremely lax and accept many illegal
      grammars)</li>
