Maybe, maybe not. We just don't know. Although I am not opposed in
principle to site IDs in SL addresses, having this feature in the
addressing architecture _now_ is a walking hazard. kre has convinced me
to keep fe80::/10 instead of reducing it to fe80::/48 keeping the door
open, but I oppose doing something about it now.

About the lesser of evils, we don't have to make that choice either.
