Greetings, I do not support adoption of this draft by the 6lo WG at this time, but IETF is run by consensus and I am just a single voice.
My main reason is that the draft has no Security Considerations section, and I am not sure the scheme can be made secure. I believe the WG should always consider the IPv6 "brand" when it takes on new drafts. At one point, we were quite concerned with privacy considerations; RFC 8605 stated that global addresses should contain at least 46 bits of entropy. Recent work in 6man (in the context of draft-ietf-6man-rfc6874bis) examined scripting attacks that suggest that at least this much entropy be included in link-local addresses as well. Second, the fact that routing is based on addressing makes me wonder whether this effort would encroach on Routing Area's charter. Third, one potential application that has been suggested is low-cost sensors in server racks, yet I have seen no suggested wired MAC for this application. RFC 8163 covers this base. If hosts are connected via Ethernet or PLC, why would this scheme be required? Perhaps if these areas are addressed?
