in this case, the issue is fairly important, and needs to be decided before 
the WG sends anything to Last Call; pushing back after the WG sends stuff 
to the IESG is the "late surprise" problem that Marshall loves to lambast 
the IESG about.

That's one thing that's different between IETF meetings and mailing lists; 
it's easier to wander into a meeting room than into a mailing list.

I don't know what to advise; I'm a list member, and wasn't in the room in 
SF, so I have just posted my opinion.
If you have MIB-doctors who are active in the v6 community, asking them to 
voice an opinion would be a Good Thing.
