Subject: Thread on SLAAC on non-/64 networks

The chairs have been following this thread.

The history of rfc4291-bis is that it did make changes to the text regarding /64 and interface ID sizes currently in RFC4291.  The draft reached a consensus in 6man, was advanced to the IESG, but there was a not a consensus after the IETF last call.  Our AD sent it back to the working group.

We as chairs don’t see that anything has changed that would cause us to believe any new rfc4291-bis that could reach consensus in 6man would also reach consensus for an IETF last call.  To us it seems like the same discussion is being repeated over again.

Please continue, but we don’t see any new arguments.  Perhaps consider if you are saying something that
has already been said multiple times.  Repeating an argument doesn’t usually make it stronger :-)
