Who said that? We have just shipped the addressing architecture
(with ambiguous SLs) to the RFC Editor. We know we have to make a
new version. If we can agree to deprecate ambiguous SLs, we can then
invent a non-ambiguous replacement for the next version of the
addressing architecture.

I think you are misreading a lot of the "deprecate" votes,
including mine. We certainly aren't done even if we reach consensus
on deprecation.
