Hello folks,
I was there, and it wasn't so black and white.
It's not fair to characterize it so.
I suspect that most people there, who voted for
the elimination of site-locals, would still be
favor of enabling the features that site-locals
were intended to offer. Perhaps the majority
position could be paraphrased as "against site-local,
but sorry to see them go".
My own vote was for elimination, but I think it
will be a mistake if there isn't a way for people
to get unique prefixes practically for free.
Regards,
Charlie P.

uh, no. 102 people finally understood just how comprehensively broken
SLs are, and managed to finally overwhelm the 20 or so who were still in
compete denial about it.
