Yes and no.
I believe the material is valuable and should be adopted in some way
by 6man. However
(a) The lack of negative reactions to draft-ietf-6man-flow-update-00,
which we did adopt after Beijing, suggests that we'll be doing
an RFC3697bis reasonably soon. At a minimum, draft-gont needs
revision in parallel with that.
(b) At the moment draft-gont mixes two things: a "Security Assessment
of the IPv6 Flow Label" as stated in its title, and a normative
recommendation on how to generate a pseudo-random flow label. I wonder
whether the latter part doesn't actually belong in RFC3697bis?
