Perhaps make it a false responder in the last of those 9 years so that anybody who is truly that far behind on their software updates gets enough of a spanking to stop sending you packets. You'll have problems repurposing the address and its subnet until folks stop sending you DNS query packets, even if you don't respond to them.Not a bad idea, you could also put a nice warning page up informing them that their DNS resolver is broken and not enforcing DNSSEC while you're at it :)
Responding to this topic specifically: All root server operators have made a strong commitment to only serving the DNS root as managed by IANA [1], I'm afraid this option is off the table. Although you could use some wiggle-ling to try and say this principle doesn't apply to "old addresses", I would not be willing to take that wiggle on behalf of b.root-servers.net.
