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.
