Re: [OSPF] Removal of MOSPF from OSPFv3

Russ and group,

     Are you sure that this isn't about deprecating it?

     Ok, now what do you do with 100s of documents outside
     of this RFC that says the bits are used for MOSPF?

     Group, no one needs to implement MOSPF for v3, just that
     vendors have to believe that if someone did impliment it,
     THEN they would be using those bits..

     That makes those bits UN-USEABLE for anything else.
