Notes:

For some reason I got in the group, then participated positively to the discussion, and I let myself tempted to have my name up on the first page of a published RFC; but finally, after much time and reflexion, I think I do not agree with the effects of this RFC.

I do not agree that 64bit is a boundary.

Remark: you are asking Type 'Technical' or 'Editorial'; only one choice is possible. I do not understand that. My issue is both.
--VERIFIER NOTES--
Quoting the AD at the time: "RFCs are immutable once published. Period."
