draft-ietf-v6ops-6to4-to-historic (yet again)

2011-07-25 11:18:36
Folks,

After some discussion, the IESG is attempting to determine whether there is 
IETF consensus to do the following:

- add a new section to draft-ietf-v6ops-6to4-to-historic
- publish draft-ietf-v6ops-6to4-to-historic as INFORMATIONAL

draft-ietf-v6ops-6to4-to-historic will obsolete RFCs 3056 and 3068 and convert 
their status to HISTORIC. It will also contain a new section describing what it 
means for RFCs 3056 and 3068 to be classified as HISTORIC. The new section will 
say that:

- 6-to-4 should not be configured by default on any implementation (hosts, cpe 
routers, other)
- vendors will decide whether/when 6-to-4 will be removed from implementations. 
Likewise, operators will decide whether/when 6-to-4 relays will be removed from 
their networks. The status of RFCs 3056 and 3068 should not be interpreted as a 
recommendation to remove 6-to-4 at any particular time.


draft-ietf-v6ops-6to4-to-historic will not update RFC 2026. While it clarifies 
the meaning of "HISTORIC" in this particular case, it does not set a precedent 
for any future case.

Please post your views on this course of action by August 8, 2011.
