Hello folks,

I disagree that the addressing model and the
implications upon link-local addressability
are any less valid for hosts than they are
for routers.

The danger I see is that the title change
could at any time be cited as justification
for restricting the work of [autoconf]
so that only routers can get addresses.
This sort of political device is often able
to overcome any objection that the earlier
language in previous documents was having
unintentional side-effects (once they are
published).

The point was raised during the meeting that
any router could pretend to be a host by simply
setting willingness == 0.

It was not explained why an energy-constrained
device should have to implement thousands of lines
of code just so it could have the privilege of
being called a router when it should never ever
be configured to forward packets.

But perhaps I digress from the point of the
consensus call.

Regards,
Charlie P.
