As a draft, it hasn't been through the full process and shouldn't be considered
to have the same weight as an RFC.
While it intends to obsolete RFC-3177, it doesn't obsolete it yet and, indeed,
may
never do so.
Fully understood; I wasn't meaning to present it as irrefutable
evidence that the /64 & /48 mindset is flawed, but as a timely
counterpoint to people expounding the virtues of 3177 without cautiously
acknowledging that its recommendations aren't necessarily for everyone.
I apologize if my intentions weren't terribly clear -- that may be a
good cue for me to go to bed.
