- the issue tracker was AFAIK created by the chairs to be used.
- I was answering a new input from Ole on the issue tracker itself, and 
containing a question (see below).

(Yet, if the chairs suggest to now avoid using the tracker, I will act 
accordingly.)

Ole's point was:
"The interface-id has to be something. It is useful to put PSID and IPv4 
address in there for troubleshooting purposes.
Do you have a proposal for what you'd rather want it to be?
As the value is there largely for "pretty printing", just pick something."

My comment has been:
"Value of having the PSID in MAP-E IIDs for maintenance isn't clear at all:
• PSID length isn't determined in IIDs (there can be an unknown number of 
trailing zeroes)
• all PSID bits are already readable in the first 64 bits
Suggestion to close the issue: 
• keep IPv4 addresses in IIDs (they contains some bits that aren't in the first 
64 bits)
• don't keep the PSID in IIDs (insufficiently justified complexity)"

Ole's reason to ignore this proposed simplification hasn't been given.

Comments welcome.
