Re: [v6ops] draft-linkova-v6ops-nd-cache-init to working group draft

That might be an interesting survey, if only to validate the draft. It would also give a heads-up to those developers, though, and give the working group some operational experience in the case(s) of those that already implement something like it.

Doing so will require 6man to agree to let v6ops suggest specific changes to RFC 4861 under the rubric of "operational solutions", as discussed in the draft and https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/105/materials/slides-105-v6ops-neighbor-cache-entries-on-first-hop-routers-operational-considerations-00; the argument for not kicking those out to 6man is that the authors of RFC 4861 are no longer in a position to approve errata to it, which would be the other obvious approach (I'm not sure that's true of Erik Nordmark, but whatever). It would also need to be considered to update RFC 4861.
