Remi, I think we may be in agreement that domain-specific uses of the flow-label are problematic for the reason you illustrate below? Namely, that once one domain sets it to something that is not known to be a 3- or 5-tuple of the IPv6 header, then you lose the ability to use that flow-label

The problem for me is that if it is arbitrarily mutable, then we can not use the flow label in a reliable and useful fashion in the ECMP / LAG. After all, if it is arbitrarily mutable some ISP might set it to 0xFACE because that was useful to them without regard to specific flows. I would
