And we're still persisting with a recommendation for /126 for p2p
router links and against /127?

I guess that's the current state of things.

bias disclosure: I'm in favour of /127, vis.

In light of Maz's presentation (see link) I do think that the text in
B.2.1 saying "The usage of this subnet address length does not lead to
any additional considerations ..." might, in fact, not be the whole
truth.
