If you want to be explicit about TLA/NLA being dead why not have
a section 2.0 titled "TLA and NLA are dead"
with a shortish explanation of why and with an informational reference
to the registries document?

Because this might confuse people that they should only code for 2000::/3
in their implementation?

We tried to make this clear in addr-arch-v3 (hopefully clear enough) but
this document is not clear enough on that issue.

Since RFCs live forever the "currently being allocated" argument might
not be a good argument.


Finally, assuming that this document isn't going standardize anything
(now that the documentation prefix is removed) I think it makes
sense having be an informational document that is part of a protocol
action which moves RFC 2374 to historic.
Only if this document standardizes some replacement to 2374 would it make
sense for it to be proposed standard.

Examples of "move to historic" documents are RFC 3197 and RFC 3167.
They tend to explain why and what is being made historic with varying levels
of detail.
