The document was IETF Last Called as BCP way before it even hit the IESG. Given that there is no objective guidance in RFC2026 on what constitutes a BCP (“best” and "what is believed to be the best way” are not exactly objective) we could go either way. I am inclined to go along with the wishes of the WG (v6ops), the shepherding AD (Warren) in the absence of a more definitive measure of suitability. That said, as I conveyed to Warren, I would not object if this was made Informational either.

In light of its other deficiencies that I’ve previously complained about (lack of clarity about some significant contingencies, e.g., reclaiming prefixes, ND redirects, et cetera), I’d be marginally happier with Informational rather than Best Current Practice.
