Ok, what would break if we were to declare the O & M bit historic and issue a BCP recommending not to set them in RA?
It is unclear to me what part of existing code would break....

I believe that it is entirely too late in the life of this protocol

then the usage should be clarified. The original intent of this revision was
to clarify portions of the specification which were not clear, not to open every
feature for the full-scale debate and revision. There is running, shipping
code that makes use of these bits. What, exactly, is the upside in breaking
that code?
