It would give me cover to ask my employers for 6to4 capability to be removed from forthcoming products that I mainly work to support. I don't like taking features away from users when there isn't a suitable upgrade path for them, but the truth is that fielding problems from the field resulting from 6to4 failure can be pretty tiresome, and I would welcome the cover from IETF to be able to say, "Oh, you're still using 6to4? You should turn that off. It's deprecated by IETF now, and accordingly, we no longer support it. Get native IPv6 service." > > In other words, whether IESG means to convey this message or not, publishing 6to4-to-historic alongside the existing 6to4-advisory-- without any clear phase-out plan-- will pretty clearly imply to people like me that the official phase-out plan is to remove 6to4 from the Internet, starting as soon as vendors and operators are independently able to do so.
