Would you please check your sarcasm at the door?

Presumably, if this is a router that can be used either internally or at the edge of a network, it can be configured so that all of its interfaces are part of the same site (so that it forwards site-locals) or that some of its interfaces are not part of the site (so that it doesn't forward site locals).

Oh really? Maybe you can explain us how you would do that?

Let's see, by announcing FE80::/10 or FEC0::/10 to the peers. Problem
is, most of them are not that dumb and will filter it.

Or maybe, you have a special version of IOS that has IPv6 NAT in it so
it enables the host with a link-local address to communicate with the
outside.

So Margaret, tell us: How do you reconfigure a router to forward
site-local traffic to the outside?
