I think this section is not ready yet. Couple comments:

1) This is not the IETF job to mandate what an implemention choose
   to support or not.

2) What constitute a "new implementation"?
For example, we shipped IPv6 in Solaris 8. Same bits plus extra
features in Solaris 9, more coming in newer relases, but fundamentally
the same code fundation. Would Solaris 10, 11, 12, 13, 14....
or what ever new name we come up with be considered as "new implemtations"?
This is confusing...


3) What does section 4 exactly means with regard to default address selection RFC3484?
Does this obsolete the rules about scope?

This is a reminder that the last call on the deprecation document
ends today.  In particular, the chairs would like to ensure that
the WG agrees on the actual deprecation text in Sections 4 & 6.
There has been few comments on this draft and it cannot proceed
unless the chairs can be sure that it has been thoroughly reviewed
and agreed upon.

If you have reviewed the document, have no issues with it, and agree
on its content, please let the chairs and/or the working group know.

Thanks,

IPv6 WG Chairs
