That's a draft, and, it doesn't really eliminate the idea that /48s are generally a good thing so much as it recognizes that there might be SOME circumstances in which they are either not necessary or insufficient.
As a draft, it hasn't been through the full process and shouldn't be considered to have the same weight as an RFC.
While it intends to obsolete RFC-3177, it doesn't obsolete it yet and, indeed, may never do so.
The IETF data tracker shows draft-ietf-v6ops-3177bis-end-sites is under IESG review, with comments currently being made, see https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-v6ops-3177bis-end-sites/ which also notes the draft has strong support so is likely to be published soon. The document is only guidance regardless. Tim
