Quick question - you have been nay-saying on local-use addressing for as long as I can recall, but do you truly have an alternate proposal that will work for intermittently-connected/disconnected sites, sites that frequently change provider points of attachment, multi-homed sites, etc? I asked others the same question and they mumbled something about HIP but ducked my pointed questions as to how soon we could expect to see an alternate proposal.
I'm trying to keep an open mind about this stuff, but I continue to see nothing of substance coming from the anti local addressing camp. So, unless there is some grand solution currently being architected in some skunkworks project out of the public eye, are you really doing anything more than just empolying stalling tactics? (And if there is such a stealth mode project in the works, I think it high time that it be fully disclosed to the community in good faith.)
Truly curious,

Uselessly slow is a local decision. If that is the case for your network,
then by all means, don't use these addresses. For others, speed is less of a
concern than other attributes. Please stop trying to force a single
operational model on everyone. We need to provide tools that meet the
requirements, not keep claiming the requirements are invalid.
For applications to have a large market, there needs to be uniformity in how
networks operate. Please stop trying to force application developes to cope
with dysfunctional networks.
