Actually, my take would be that what the text is attempting to restrict
is the forming of state - not using the flow label. So, using (a hash of)
the flow label for choosing among alternate equivalent routes would be
just fine - as no state is being left behind when that's done. The issue
is creating some kind of state (memory if you like) when there's no defined
way to delete it.

True.
