On the balance, my take (with co-chair propeller beanie on) is that since we are so far along with progressing 5575bis, and as Christop previously has pointed out, the original scope was set to be "clarification" and not more, we shouldn't hold it up further.

As I mentioned, I'm ambivalent.  

That said, I promise to have provided review by IETF in Montreal.
I'd ask the WG chairs to push for refreshing of the v6 spec and a subsequent WGLC after we've advanced the bis and hopefully have incorporated -bis learnings into the v6 spec.
