I am curious why the "Additional PMSI Tunnel Attribute Flags" registry needs a standards-action policy. It's pretty obvious why for the main flag registry, due to the small value-space. Are people concerned that the Additional flag will also run out of space?
Yes, I think that is an issue. 48 flags may sound like a lot, but the existing 8 flags got used up fairly quickly and suddenly; one draft grabbed four flag bits. So FCFS doesn't really seem like an appropriate policy here. The other possible policies are all subject to politics, but at least Standards Action comes with early allocation.
