We have been over this text several times.  Each time, we reach
rough consensus that the security consideration text is adequate
and accurate.  I do not see any reason to reopen this issue for
revision.

If the considerations are in fact of too much concern for a vendor
to employ IPv4 LL autoconfiguration, they should not implement it.
Informing vendors of the security considerations involved in a
protocol so they can make an informed choice and plan is one of
our highest responsibilities.
