(posting this in the last call thread as well)

I just came back from PTO not reading IETF email for 5-6 weeks, and read
up on this thread.

I just want to state my opinion that whatever text we come up with should
reflect current operational reality, in that SLAAC A=1 only works on /64,
and that people use all kinds of subnet sizes when manually configuring
interfaces.

If current code doesn't treat 000::/3 in any special case, then documents
should reflect this.

Mandating /64 only for any IPv6 use case doesn't reflect reality as I see
it. I don't want to see A=1 /64 SLAAC requirement relaxed either.

I just want the -bis document to reflect what is currently in the field
and we know works. Nothing more, nothing less.
