I remain strongly opposed to reclassifying 6to4 as Historic unless/until a better alternative appears. Putting an explanation inside an informational document doesn't change that opposition.
I also continue to believe that the -historic draft has too many misstatements and misleading statements in it, that the entire motivation for the draft is seriously flawed, and that it should not be published in anything like its current form. But I agree that 6to4 should be off by default, mostly because there's no good off-the-shelf way to have 6to4 automatically disabled when a host or router connects to a network that is using NAT but not using RFC 1918 addresses.
