I personally oppose to such idea. This is my reasoning:

* draft-gont-6man-ipv6-smurf-amplifier has already been in the position
of "this will be discussed if time permits" (and at the time, time
didn't permit). Hence it's time to allocate a slot to this I-D. The same
reasoning should apply to draft-liu-bonica-dhcpv6-slaac-problem-01.txt
for the next IETF meeting.

* draft-gont-6man-ipv6-smurf-amplifier is pretty much straight-forward
so that may be one reason for which you didn't see more discussion about
it. I'd expect that discussion during the 6man wg meeting will be brief,
and hence we'll be able to move forward to the next document even before
the allocated time is used.

* Changing agendas once published is, IMO, a bad idea (unless really
necessary).


FWIW, I should note that I do support
draft-liu-bonica-dhcpv6-slaac-problem-01.txt -- i.e., the reasoning
above doesn't have anything to do with the contents of
draft-liu-bonica-dhcpv6-slaac-problem-01.txt itself.
