Re: [rfc2462bis issue 281] Requirement for 64bit I/F ID

[Keith Moore <moore at cs.utk.edu>]

I am still of the belief that limiting the routing prefix to 64 bits is a 
shortsighted design choice that will limit the lifetime and applicability
of IPv6.  Anything we can do to discourage the notion that an interface
ID shall be 64 bits now and forever is, IMHO, a good idea.
