Hi,

RFC3879 deprecates site-local unicast addrresses. However it does not say anything about site-local multicast addresses. Are they deprecated as well? Most of the arguments for deprecation of site- local unicasts seem to apply for site-local multicast too.

Only site-local unicast addresses were deprecated. The site-local scope of multicast addresses is still valid.

RFC 3879:

Abstract

This document describes the issues surrounding the use of IPv6 site-
   local unicast addresses in their original form, and formally
   deprecates them.  This deprecation does not prevent their continued
   use until a replacement has been standardized and implemented.
