For the record, actually no, that is not my position. Protocol changes do
belong in 6man. But as Brian says, we may not need protocol changes. A BCP

For the record, I don't agree with this. Changing the reactive behaviour
has far-reaching implications and a number of difficult trade-offs with
regard to scalability, crash recovery, availability of addresses to network
nodes, and so on.
