Solutions which don't require base protocol changes. Can you describe those _simple_ solutions and compare them with the deprecation? ;-) IMHO, the real problem is that RH0 should not have been in the IPv6 specifications (1883 _and_ 2460) and the associated time/space could have been used, as you wrote, for something more useful. locator/id split is actually one of such things, but having it directly in IP has pros and cons. Keeping IPv6 simple and efficient allows building on top of it (like MIPv6 does) with some insurance on resulting stability.
