I hate that ML are not consistently named for the WG. resending with correct
WG ML list name.

...

Bernie, is some of the desire to pick <127 a result of the experience with
CAPPORT's use of 160?

Unfortunately, while I participated in the thread that Jen linked to justify
why ietf-dhc-v6only should have 108, I can't seem to find much discussion
about 108 itself.
(Much of it is not about why 108, and rather about the protocol as a whole)

So, aside from Tomek's original message there isn't much discussion about why
we are going against IANA's normal process here.

Given this recommendation and the experience with CAPPORT, should we be
changing advice to IANA in general?

Is there an need to repeat the delouse effort that resulted in RFC3679?
RFC3679 already says:

   IANA is requested to reassign these option codes after the list of
   option codes that have never been assigned or have previously been
   returned has been exhausted.

Maybe this is not well understood.
