If you feel that network interfaces longer than /64 shouldn't be used,
then please feel free to add text to this ID which reassigns rfc6164 to
historical.  If you don't want to do this or feel that it wouldn't gain
consensus, then please don't propose renewing a specification which
explicitly contradicts another standards track document which is in
widescale current production use.

As withering aphorisms seem to be the order of the day, either have your
cake or eat your cake.
