Robert, there will soon be a draft documenting the WG face to face consensus (which you don't happend to agree with) and that draft will of course be put before the WG for formal consensus determination. At the same time there is a combined draft being written on the requirements for the replacement, and a draft proposal for the replacement (draft-hinden-ipv6-global-local-addr-02.txt) was accepted as a WG item in the recent face to face meeting.
So the chances that FEC0::/10 will be formally deprecated and replaced by something better are close to 100%. As a co-author of the intended deprecation draft, I will try to ensure that it doesn't destroy currently shipping software.
