I don't see how this could reach consensus. It appears to me that way too many people here have forgot The Golden Rule of a successful product, which is to keep the customer happy. IPv6 is a product, it its success is a lot more tied to what customers (read: network administrators) think than to what people that develop stacks think, whether you like it or not. There is ample evidence to support the fact that the customer (the network administrator) wants, if not site-local, at least something that provides what site-local does; and that they will continue using them the way they see fit regardless of the fact that the IETF could try to restrict their use or not. Keep the customer happy. When a dog is happy, it wags its tail. Trying to wag the dog instead is not going to work with network administrators that have been doing it for 30 years, and that actually do know a lot about doing it.
