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.
