Re: [v6ops] reclassify 464XLAT as standard instead of info

Chair hat off.

If it were ONLY about IPv4, I might agree with you, or suggest another working group. 464XLAT is about connecting an IPv6-only (subset of a) network to an IPv4 network, which I would think remains a current issue. If we're serious about talking about IPv6-only networks, an important part of that is helping people get there. That has been my argument for doing anything related to transition mechanisms, in v6ops or anywhere else. 

If we were to declare anything HISTORIC, it would be other transition mechanisms that have been documented but not widely found useful. We killed 6to4 and Teredo...
