There are no doubt many other protocols that suffer from limitations in the original specs that are no longer relevant in today's implementations.
I was thinking that it could make sense to retire some of these limitations in IPv6, even if they are not really IPv6-related. The rationale would be that a legacy application wouldn't normally be able to operate over IPv6 anyway, so raising the bar shouldn't lead to interoperability issues.
