I've heard that it is already implemented on linux. don't know the 
details yet.

nooo! IPv4 typical MTU is 1500. you are suggesting downgrading IPv6 
performance (compared to IPv4) by doing MTU 1280? does not make sense to 
me. PMTUd issues are the exception, not the problem. But the level of 
exceptions are higher now than it shall be later, since we are really 
deploying IPv6 now, removing old stuff, fixing as we go.

Think also about backbone nodes/high-end servers that are able to do 9K 
MTU. Change to 1280 MTU. no.
