Re: [rfc2462bis] whether we need the M/O flags

All,

	I believe that it is entirely too late in the life of this protocol
to be removing these bits.  If there is in fact confusion over their usage
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?
