It was added for clarification. To address your concern of not precluding
ACs, I¹ll change the sentence as below:

from:   "In EVPN, an MPLS label identifying forwarding table is distributed
by"
to:     "In EVPN, an MPLS label typically identifying forwarding table is
distributed by"

John agreed to strike the last sentence and not the whole paragraph. And
frankly I think it is OK to keep the last sentence and to remind the
reader that the Ethernet Tag field is set per section 5.1.3. We are not
duplicating text here. We are just providing a reference.

Cheers,
Ali
