It seems like there is this deep philosophical discussion about historic status. From what I can tell, ietf sent nat-pt to historic well before nat64 came about. Many people were using nat-pt too ... but going to historic forced things along. It was a good choice in hindsight.


And natpt implementations still exist and are used by consenting adults. At a previous employer we were considering the business case for an implementation well after it's historic status. better solutions came along.
