Before responding to the consensus call on site-local addresses, I'd
like to ask one question for clarification. (As required, I changed
the subject line).
What was the consensus, if any, on alternatives to site-locals when SL
is deprecated? In particular, which prefixes will we use for
disconnected or intermittently connected "site"s? I've checked the
chair's presentation slides and the draft minutes, and (roughly)
followed the very recent discussion in the ML, but I cannot be sure
about it.
According to the draft minutes, someone mentioned we can use arbitrary
prefixes for those purposes. That's true, but we cannot assure the
uniqueness of the arbitrary-chosen prefixes, so I don't see any
essential advantage over the existing fec0::/10 (with eliminating the
"full" usage).
I can live without site-locals, and, furthermore, I personally want
the wg to stop the endless discussion and to concentrate on more
important -from my personal perspective- issues. So, even if the
idea of "arbitrary-chosen prefixes" is just a compromise (without any
real benefit) to convince ourselves, it's okay for me. Then I'll vote
for deprecating site-local.
Could someone clarify this point, please?
