Hi Gyan,

Sorry not to get back to you sooner.

I let it expire, as I didn't think it would be adopted by the WG.

There seemed to be a bit of resistance to it as people said that ULAs
could be used instead.

The link local prefix is also required on any IPv6 interface, per
RFC4291, so there is supposed to be a link-local /64 on the loopback
interface(s) providing many addresses to which a process could be
separately bound, although a drawback of using the link-local prefix
is having to deal with scope/zone IDs (although Linux doesn't comply
with that requirement, it doesn't have a link-local address on the
loopback interface by default).

Not as far as I'm aware.

What is your use case?

Regards,
Mark.
