I thought we had a "traffic class" to permit "signaled QoS" for some
value of "signaled QoS". I was unaware flow labels were intended for
this purpose.

I'm an old fashioned kind of engineer. I'd like to see some folks from
router vendors give us precise information about the *exact* use
they'll put the flow label information to, and quantitative
information about how much better it will be for them to have the flow
label than not to have it. Engineering by committee is bad enough --
engineering by committee and by hearsay simultaneously is far worse.
