What, specifically, is the hurry?

Comments:
	e.f.f.3.ip6.arpa was documented in RFC3681 published in February
	2004 and actioned in July 2004.

	I'm assuming the actioning of e.f.f.3.ip6.arpa is the trigger
	for this I-D; if so, why do you want to wait so little time (2
	months) between e.f.f.3.ip6.arpa becoming available and
	requiring people to have updated resolver libraries?

	Personally I'd be more in favour of a 6 month timeout - i.e
	around last December or so.
