The strangest thing about this proposal is that it seeks to remove a  
statement about the interim nature of the IPv6 policy but has been  
submitted alongside other proposals to modify that same policy. If  
the policy is being actively revised it is strange to remove the  
statement that it "will be reviewed in the future, subject to greater  
experience in the administration of IPv6."

I suspect that people considering an IPv6 deployment are unlikely to  
be dissuaded by the statement but there's probably no harm in re- 
phrasing it a bit and putting it near the start of the NRPM so that  
it applies to IPv4 and ASN policy, too.
