As we are all looking at what to do with site locals, has anyone any text on
what happens to the old RFC 1918 addresses?

>From what I have seen the 0::10:x:x:x is still going to need to be treated
as site local (private) as in a 6to4 enfironment we still need to maintain
the old rules (at least until 4 is really dead, and that can be years away).

Thus we can depreciate FEC:: /10 right now, and allow the old RFC 1918
addresses to continue to fill in the needs that people seem to want in a
non-routable address.

Otherwise we will not only need to depreciate FEC:: /10 but also all of the
current installations of RFC 1918.

This will also be where people try to sneak NATv6 into the network as these
addresses (0::10:x:x:x) were hijacked years ago, and I don't see how we will
get them back now.
