Alex, my suggestion is to write a new draft call it
draft-someone-rfcxxxbis with the current text on the RFC minus you as
the author.
Maybe you can not submit it you need to ask one of the co-authors to
submit.
That's a bad idea also. The other authors' opinions in the past may
not be their opinions now, and submitting their old text today as a new
draft would presume that their opinions haven't changed.
The RFC is what it is, a record of some people's thoughts as of the time
it was published. Anyone who has been around this community very long
realizes that he or she was once wrong about something he or she wrote
in the past. We just need to accept that and move on.

p.s. The 64-bit boundary was always a dubious idea in much the same way
as hardwired IPv4 address "classes" were a dubious idea. I would
support phasing it out, even with the understanding that prefixes past
/64 won't work for many existing IP-over-foo mechanisms. To the extent
that we can change some of those IP-over-foo mechanisms, it's probably
worth doing so.
