My mistake. I thought we were voting on something more meaningful, i.e.,
site-locals themselves. Now I understand that site-locals do not exist
as such and we were just voting on the deprecation of the prefix itself.
This actually makes it all the more amazing that anyone would claim that
the mere existence of that prefix in an undeprecated state is the stumbling
block preventing us from solving the routing problem that has been around
for a decade or so. As I'm sure the prefix will indeed be deprecated, I
look forward to seeing serious discussions of those routing solutions very
soon.
