ipv6 has a provision for locally routable addresses, because yes publicly routable addresses should be special. They should just also be free.

- fulafel 10y agoLink-local addresses are not routable and are not meant for application use, they're just for low level things like neighbour discovery and router advertisements (analogous to IPv4 ARP/DHCP). There's also ULA that can be used for non-internet connected networks and some other special scenarios, but it would be a bad idea (and against recommended practice) to use them to port your RFC1918 addressing to IPv6.
