I proposed experimental also when discussion started about future of 6to4. I support the idea.

Keith,
The alternative that I proposed to IESG and to the chairs (and never received any feedback about) was to reclassify 6to4 as Experimental. Experimental seems completely appropriate for a protocol that is useful, but only in corner cases. And I think it's also appropriate and useful to try to learn from the experience with 6to4, even if we realize that 6to4 will never be a generally applicable IPv6 transition solution again.
And maybe, just maybe, Experimental will be enough of a "slap" at 6to4 to mollify the "kill it yesterday" crowd. For one thing, it clearly indicates that 6to4 is no longer a standard.
But in order to quieten down the discussion here, I suggest that people reply to me privately if they can't live with this. If I get lots of those replies, I'll know that it's not worth pursuing.
"Experimental" is certainly better than:
- nothing
- spending months on hold as appeals are processed.
Best Regards,
Janos Mohacsi
