I think it's the fact that it's a stop gap that worries me the most.

Imagine being alive in thousands of years, having to mind the 'very little waste' that stopgap produced.

I think I'd consider the generations that produced it pretty negatively.

As I mentioned, that long term byproducts can be reprocessed or directly consumed by more advanced reactors.
