Hmm, since RFC 6164 is a Standards Track document, it’s already covered as a legitimate exception under the text I already proposed, which seemed mostly well received, except by people who seem to think it’s not enough to recognize standard IETF exceptions to the /64 subnet prefix requirement.

Some participants seem to be promising they will continue objecting to the promotion of RFC 4291 to full Standard until the /64 subnet prefix length requirement is dropped entirely. I think those objections should not block the advancement of this draft.
