 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.


I proposed experimental also when discussion started about future of 6to4.
I support the idea.
       Best Regards,
