RE: request

What is means is this:
The standard known as ISAKMP/Oakley is now known as IKE
The standard known as IKE does not specifically exactly conform to the
standard known as ISAKMP/Oakley
Manufacturers have adopted IKE in order to satisfy customer needs rather
than try to comply with the full ISAKMP/Oakley standard
You will hear IKE and ISAKMP/Oakley used interchangeably
IKE and ISAKMP/Oakley are not the same standard as viewed from the RFC,
IKE is a subset of the original standard that for all intents and
purposes is the same thing in practical applications.

does this mean that ISAKMP/Oakley are officially obsoleted by IKE ?

The following quote seems to present it more as a subset.

"  This does not implement the entire Oakley protocol, but only a subset
   necessary to satisfy its goals. It does not claim conformance or
   compliance with the entire Oakley protocol nor is it dependant in any
   way on the Oakley protocol. " -- rfc2409.2 about IKE
