=> I completely agree that this is a possible scenario, 
but I also think that:

1. We will not eliminate stupidity or ignorance from the 
Internet. 

2. The people that do that might have their reasons...I can't
think of any and I wouldn't advice it, but...some people do. 

3. Even if SLs were eliminated, what's going to stop 
someone from using _any_ bitstring for their internal
addresses and when they want to connect to the Internet
they will still throw a NATv6 on the edge. Why is this
better?

Deprecating site locals to aovid the scenario above 
is a futile attempt IMHO.
