Keith,
The alternative that I proposed to IESG and to the chairs (and never received
any feedback about) was to reclassify 6to4 as Experimental. Experimental
seems completely appropriate for a protocol that is useful, but only in
corner cases. And I think it's also appropriate and useful to try to learn
from the experience with 6to4, even if we realize that 6to4 will never be a
generally applicable IPv6 transition solution again.
And maybe, just maybe, Experimental will be enough of a "slap" at 6to4 to
mollify the "kill it yesterday" crowd. For one thing, it clearly indicates
that 6to4 is no longer a standard.
But in order to quieten down the discussion here, I suggest that people reply
to me privately if they can't live with this. If I get lots of those
replies, I'll know that it's not worth pursuing.
"Experimental" is certainly better than:
- nothing
- spending months on hold as appeals are processed.
cheers,
Ole
