I would like to suggest another choice:
e) a set of bits we hold in reserve for the future
I don't think that we have enough experience to pick between a), b), or c)
now, and think that something might come up in the future where 28 bits in
the IPv6 header might be very useful. This might not have anything to do
with QOS.
