"local scope" is back in the form of the ULA stuff. Which takes away the problem of local scope which was merely RFC1918. Routing vendors in general don't really care about those things. Otherwise they would have long gone been pre-configuring rfc1918 filters and other want-to-haves per default, but they don't. Remember that when there is a problem, somebody needs to be called (and thus payed) for support. NAT is a nice money business...
