NO -- Do not deprecate site-local unicast addressing

- Site-locals should be retained for disconnected sites.  If not SL, then
a mechanism needs to be adopted that can provide a private means of
selecting from a private address space that is "reserved" for this 
function.  2002 is not a working alternative.
- Site-locals should be retained for intermittently connected sites.
- Site-locals should be retained as a means for internal connections to 
survive global prefix renumbering.

- Other (please specify).  Continually changing the specs will only 
further alienate those that refuse to adopt.  Not offering equivalents to 
what exists today (rfc 1918) will accomplish the same.  (and do we really 
want to put all the NAT vendors out of business? ;-)  "Necessity drives ingenuity."
