I didn't think you can never get consensus there, but I was pretty
sure that it would be hard and take long time and can even fail.  I
already emphasized these several times, and only suggested you go there
if you still think you want the change.  Perhaps you interpreted it as
if you just go to 6man you can quickly get an approval of whatever you
want.  If so, sorry, I probably still didn't emphasize the point enough.  I
guess it was beyond my writing ability to clarify it further, though.

It looks like you're determined to only get a quick agreement on
sticking to the IID len of 118, reusing to consider any other option
for any reason or for any discussion results at 6man.  At this point I
think we have to agree to disagree, then.  If you believe that
approach survives the AD evaluation and subsequent IETF last call and
the IESG ballot, go ahead.  I have no power to stop it.  All I can and
will do is to raise the point that it violates RFC4291 and can't be
published without updating 4291 at the time of the IETF last call, if
this doc ever reaches there.
