"NO -- Do not deprecate site-local unicast addressing"
- SLs should be retained for disconnected sites
- SLs should be retained for intermittently connected sites
- Applications should NOT be aware (or need to be aware)
of any difference between site-local and any other address
(c.f. anycast); a principal purpose of SLs should be for
nodes having site-local access to site-local services,
irrespective of the number (0+) of external links to
other networks, ephemeral or otherwise. Any requirements,
e.g., for split-view DNSes is not this WG's concern
- SLs should NOT be retained for their access control
benefits and it SHOULD be clearly documented that this
is a broken philosophy!
