... and in the interest of transparency -- the document was all
approved on Nov 6th; on Nov 7th Fernando sent the above mail (and also
separate mail to myself, saying that this was violating v6ops charter
and needed to have been done in 6MAN).

As soon as I saw this mail I asked the RFC Editor to hold publication
(if not too late) so I could talk to Suresh about this. The RFC Editor
has removed my approval (for now). I CCed Suresh, but as I'm already
in Singapore (and have been somewhat busy with NOC stuff) we haven't
had much time to chat (other than that we don't think it is a protocol
change, and was fine in V6OPS).

I'm planning on chatting with Suresh when he arrives (just to double
check), but I think that will be fine.

I don't think the execution is relevant when it was obviously a bad
idea in the first place.
This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing
regret at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair
of pants.
