I keep reading this on the list and wonder. What are these implementations?

Can we actually enumerate implementations that rely and dont' rely on a
fixed plen of 64 bits? Does a survey about that specific claim already
exist?

FTR: I believe RFC 4291bis SHOULD NOT mandate a fixed 64 bit plen in
general. I think any specific exceptions should be enumerated explicitly
and justified, and that existing behavior of some host OS that does not
adhere to spec should be described in an Informational I-D.
