In the example you use, a SOHO configuring their network, use of GUPI is
a disaster, IMHO. Site-locals are not for SOHO sites, they need to talk
to the public Internet. These people need to use global addresses. I
don't challenge the need for globally unique PI addresses, but this
would be GAPI not GUPI.
As I mentioned before, we MUST NOT encourage the use of site-locals for
people that don't understand their limitations, and this certainly
applies to the SOHO example you used.
I can understand your point.
There is just one thing that I want to repeat:
If you give people something that is globally unique and
stable, that is, something that looks, smells and tastes
as globally unique stable identifiers, they will start to
use them as such, sooner or later.
We should not underestimate the desirability of such
identifiers in the face of changing prefixes.
Not all innovation is limited within the IETF.
