The discussion has been about potential usage limitation, or BCP's identifying application issues. The point of deprecation came out of nowhere, and only occurred in the room in SF. This has not had valid discussion.
There have been people calling for the complete removal of site-local addressing all along.
And, elimination/deprecation was quite clearly raised as an option in Atlanta. At that time, we called for opinions on the following options: elimination, "limited", "moderate" or "full" usage, and each of the four options had some support in that WG meeting.
