See below. Very short though.
I personally would rather see a "MUST drop packets containing RH0".

Title : Deprecation of Type 0 Routing Headers in IPv6
Author(s) : J. Abley
Filename : draft-jabley-ipv6-rh0-is-evil-00.txt
Pages : 13
Date : 2007-5-7
The functionality provided by IPv6's Type 0 Routing Header can be
exploited in order to perform remote network discovery, to bypass
firewalls and to achieve packet amplification for the purposes of
generating denial-of-service traffic. This document updates the IPv6
specification to deprecate the use of IPv6 Type 0 Routing Headers, in
the light of these security concerns.
