As a process issue, I don't think that DNS64 can be moved to Internet Standard and at the same time add wording to it that says how it should or should not be used on the Internet.

I also don't think RFC 6147 *has* to be moved to Internet Standard at the same time as other IPv6ish things are being moved up. Because of the significant amount of hesitancy shown, I don't think it is appropriate to move the standard up without a revision of its use and applicability statements. If those are accepted, it can be moved to IS a few years later.
