this is false. some people have been fighting this for 20 years.
though the first years were more concentrated on fighting the TLS/NLA
insanity, which makes this /64 mess look minor. for those of us trying
to deal with classful ipv6 for the last 20 years, this /64 issue is the
last clean-up.
The original message in the thread about this draft:
" > The IESG has received a request from the IPv6 Maintenance WG (6man) to
consider the following document:
- 'IP Version 6 Addressing Architecture'
<draft-ietf-6man-rfc4291bis-07.txt> as Internet Standard
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org mailing lists by 2017-03-01. Exceptionally, comments
may be
sent to iesg(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org instead. In either case, please retain the
beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting."
Nothing in the past really matters here, what matters is: "Is the bis draft
all set, did we fix all the things which must be fixed before this draft
becomes a real 'standard'?"
"no, I don't think we did" - randy (as strawman arguer)
Folk's frustrations are coming out, deep breath and think before 'send'
please... we're all really trying to do the right thing, yes?
