I supported 6to4-advisory and strenuously argued against taking up

I can see how 6to4-to-historic may divert its intended audience from
reading the much more important 6to4-advisory draft
I must admit, it does seem a little odd to issue two documents, one fixing a
protocol that you're about to declare obsolete with the other...
Not so odd. There are hundreds of millions of hosts out there that attempt
to use 6to4 by default, and (probably) thousands of relay routers that
attempt to support such users. Those boxes will be around for years, and are
the target for the -advisory draft, regardless of the deprecation.
the very fact that the devices are largely unmanaged, means that if you don't
want to break them worse then they already are that you have continue to
support them until they age out of the network.
