RFC 6437 explains what flow labels are and how you can use them.

There already was a common WGLC between ROLL and 6man.
Initially, there was some flexibility on the 6man side along the lines of “if you really have to do this”.
Once it was demonstrated that there is no actual need to hijack the flow label, the sentiment shifted.
I see little point in repeating this experiment.

Because the 6lo WG has a track record of getting things done quickly.
(Also, I’m only aware of a single active proposal, but maybe I haven’t been paying enough attention.)

See above.
