I would suggest everybody generally understands and agrees with the
default enforcement of GUPI non-routability contributed by Bob,
Christian and Michel. Silence is probably agreement.

Not all the bad things remain - the key bad thing that has been
eliminated by the new GUPI models is muli-site site-local addressing
ambiguity.

Merging networks (which includes creating VPNs) was a hard problem with
traditional site-locals, with the new GUPI models it is no problem or at
least a very rare problem.

By the fact that Keith has sent one or two emails on this topic, but not
anymore than that, tends to suggest that most if not all his objections
to traditional site-local addressing have also been addressed to an
extent by the new GUPI models - or maybe it's just that his keyboard
broke :-)
