What is the rationale for removing the Boolean values?  Wouldn't the 
current values apply until the prefix is repurposed or removed by future 
protocol action?

I'm not sure I really care, but I don't understand what is served by 
removing the current values.  I'm not sure what purpose the Boolean 
values really serve, but the current values seem the most appropriate 
until the prefix is permanently removed or repurposed.

Thanks.
