ULiege Some recent use cases have a need for carrying an identifier in IPv6 packets. While those drafts might perfectly make sense on their own, each document requires IANA to allocate a new code point for a new option, and so for very similar situations, which could quickly exhaust the allocation space if similar designs are proposed in the future. As an example, one might need an 8-bit ID, while another one might need a 32-bit, 64-bit or 128-bit ID. Or, even worse, one might need a 32-bit ID in a specific context, while someone else might also need a 32-bit ID in another context. Therefore, allocating a new code point for each similar option is probably not the way to go.
