Not sure why this hasn't gotten to the list yet, but here it is again.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.
This draft is a work item of the IP Version 6 Working Group Working
Group of the IETF.
Title : Deprecation of Type 0 Routing Headers in IPv6
Author(s) : J. Abley, et al.
Filename : draft-ietf-ipv6-deprecate-rh0-00.txt
Pages : 7
Date : 2007-5-16
The functionality provided by IPv6's Type 0 Routing Header can be
exploited in order to perform remote network discovery, to bypass
firewalls and to achieve packet amplification for the purposes of
generating denial-of-service traffic. This document updates the
IPv6
specification to deprecate the use of IPv6 Type 0 Routing
Headers, in
the light of these security concerns.
This document updates RFC 2460.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
