Subject: [6lo] Shipping RPL Unaware Leaves

Dear all :

As you may know, draft-ietf-roll-unaware-leaves is blocking the whole cluster 
C130 https://www.rfc-editor.org/cluster_info.php?cid=C310 and we want to ship 
it now (WG milestone: Mar 2020 - Initial submission). The issue we have with it 
is the fact that we allow encapsulate the ARO status in a RPL status and we 
need bits to signal that.

To free the necessary bits the proposal on the table is to reduce the possible 
values for the ARO status to 0-63.
This can be done by a simple IANA action that can be taken from 
draft-ietf-roll-unaware-leaves but we wanted to ensure that both ROLL and 6lo 
agree with the proposal:


12.1.  Resizing the ARO Status values

   IANA is requested to modify the Address Registration Option Status
   Values Registry as follows: The unassigned values range is reduced
   from 11-255 to 11-63.


NB: this will free 2 bits in the Extended Address Registration Option and the 
Extended Duplicate Address Message, could become handy in the future.

Is there an issue with this that we are missing?

Pascal
