Just checking: is this an agreement or a disagreement on the proposed
text for rfc2462bis, or is this just an opinion on the (seemingly)
fixed constant of the IFID/prefix length?
In any event, the proposed text does not contain a hard-coded "64" and
does contain a note that an implementation should expect a different
length of IFIDs/prefixes than the one currently used. So I guess you
can live with it.
