Hi
	Site local IPv6 address have been depreciated for over a year now (RFC3879). Last month a suitable replacement (RFC4193) was published. I suggest we change /etc/rc.d/network (and rc.conf(5)) to reflect these developments in the solidifying area of IPv6 standards.

	I propose we add a new variable "ip6uniquelocal" to be used like "ip6sitelocal" except for FC00::/7. Additionally, I recommend ip6sitelocal be removed.

	Jonathan Kollasch
