What is the meaning of this statement?

"DT is also taking advantage of the IPv6 header for storing policy-related information, thus letting services assign policy based on a quick glance at the header."

Are they planning to modify the content of the Flow Label field of transiting packets, thus violating the recommendations of rfc6438?
