I think we will see a lot of people using fd00::/48 or fd00::/64 for their sites/links purely becuase it's less effort to type. Ideally if deployments were as plug and play as they might be, then this would not be as likely. We thus need simple methods by which networks can be deployed and easily use a pseudo-random local prefix generated under fd00::/8. I could foresee a "generate pseudo-random prefix" button on my home DSL router's web config screen, but the more important case is more likely the larger hierarchically routed enterprise? Presumably an admin would use parallel subnet numbering for their globally unique 2001:xxxx:xxxx::/48 prefix and fd00::/48 prefix, if they chose to have site-local addressing for stable internal communications.
