Maybe we should just update RFC 5226 to add "allocated for management by Cisco" to the list of labels for initial assignment. Then other RFCs could give a block of numberspace to Cisco and we wouldn't have the kind of problem being caused by these drafts. Cisco wouldn't need to steal an already-assigned value for whatever weird proprietary hack they want to do, they can just take one from their own numberspace.
