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

Ron,

I believe 'draft-ietf-v6ops-6to4-advisory' is both
necessary and sufficient regardless of whether
"historic" is an appropriate characterization. So,
I don't think we need this document.

Thanks - Fred

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.
