RFC 3068 (An Anycast Prefix for 6to4 Relay Routers) does more harm
than good. IMHO, it should be deprecated.
        
I would support that, providing first that 6RD is A) adopted as a
proposed standard, and B) comes to see more widespread deployment than
6to4.  I also believe the latter is very likely to happen contingent
on the former, so I would vigorously support taking up 6RD as a
working group activity.
      
Excellent.

At 4:00 PM today at IETF registration, I will meet Benoit Lourdelet and
Richard Johnson to propose a 6rd DHCP option.
(You are obviously welcome if you would like to join.)
    

A large subset of what I assume are potential target deployments for 6RD does 
NOT use DHCP. PPP(|oA|oE) IPCP comes to mind. Not to mention non-IETF 
protocols such as PDP.
1. It's by mistake that I sent info on the planned meeting on the v6ops list.
Apologies to all for this.

2. IMHO, the fact that other mechanisms than DHCP, PPP etc., may also take advantage of a 6rd option is not a reason why progress on DHCP should be slowed down, right?

Which subset of the potential target one starts with can be considered a minor question.
