Technical Summary

   RFC 6790 defines the BGP Entropy Label Capability attribute.
   RFC 67890 has a bug: although RFC 6790 mandates that Entropy
   Label-incapable routers must remove the attribute, in practice this
   requirement can't be guaranteed to be fulfilled.  This specification
   deprecates the attribute.  A forthcoming document will propose a
   replacement.

Working Group Summary

  This document is simple and takes an action that is generally agreed
   upon. The working group supports this document, no especially rough 
   points.

Document Quality

      This draft deprecates the BGP Entropy Label Capability Attribute.
      No known implementations support this attribute.

Personnel

      same affiliation, Spencer Dawkins is acting as responsible AD.
