I hated it. :-(

I feel that changing the structure of the IPv6 header like that at this stage is too late. And I feel the change is bigger than people think it is.

Some earlier discussion has suggested that if the label is "0", then it's mutable and otherwise it's immutable.
It's also fine, if people could agree on it. I'm fine with both proposals, as long as both mutable and immutable are possible.
And if an operator does change it, they should reset it on egress, and maybe hijack some other bit in the header (e.g. from DSCP?) to signal that the flow label has been fiddled with. This bit should of course also be reset at the same time as the label is reset.
