I was another who gave comments at the mike, but abstained from the voting at IETF56.
The concern I stated at the mike was the need for supporting intermittently-connected sites, but this case is complicated when multiple sites overlap/merge, e.g., when multiple ad-hoc networks bump into one another. This is an area that seems to have potential solutions in the GUSL, GUPI, etc. proposals. But, the current proposals all seem to have limitations. On the one hand, I don't see the sense in taking an option off the table until a clear solution to the above mentioned problem space (among others) becomes apparent. On the other hand, I'm not seeing strong evidence that any such clear solution will needs-be depend on the existence of site-locals. So, my reasons for abstaining from the ballot still apply until I've seen more compelling evidence than is currently evident from the discussions.
