Is the 2119 reference actually needed? As far as I can tell, the only capitalized 2119 keyword is a MUST that occurs in a quote from another spec.

(Via drafts-lastcall@iana.org): IESG/Authors/WG Chairs:

IANA has reviewed draft-ietf-6man-predictable-fragment-id-09, which is currently in Last Call, and has the following comments:

We understand that this document doesn't require any IANA actions.

While it's often helpful for a document's IANA Considerations section to remain in place upon publication even if there are no actions, if the authors strongly prefer to remove it, IANA does not object.

If this assessment is not accurate, please respond as soon as possible.

Subject: Last Call:  (Security Implications of Predictable Fragment Identification Values) to Informational RFC


The IESG has received a request from the IPv6 Maintenance WG (6man) to
consider the following document:
- 'Security Implications of Predictable Fragment Identification Values'
  as Informational RFC

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2015-09-09. Exceptionally, comments may be
sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the
beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.

Abstract


  IPv6 specifies the Fragment Header, which is employed for the
  fragmentation and reassembly mechanisms.  The Fragment Header
  contains an "Identification" field which, together with the IPv6
  Source Address and the IPv6 Destination Address of a packet,
  identifies fragments that correspond to the same original datagram,
  such that they can be reassembled together by the receiving host.
  The only requirement for setting the "Identification" field is that
  the corresponding value must be different than that employed for any
  other fragmented packet sent recently with the same Source Address
  and Destination Address.  Some implementations use a simple global
  counter for setting the Identification field, thus leading to
  predictable Identification values.  This document analyzes the
  security implications of predictable Identification values, and
  provides implementation guidance for selecting the Identification
  field of the Fragment Header, such that the aforementioned security
  implications are mitigated.
