The whole IPv6 world is currently anti-competitive. Power is shifted to the bigger players more than in the v4 world. Independence from suppliers is not granted to smaller shops anymore. A technical scaling problem is used as an excuse to the conveniently raise the bar (currently [amongst other constraints] using some arbitrary quantity [number of customers] to qualify - hrhr). Even if a technical solution comes out of the multi6 WG, I have some serious doubts that the "internet core" will implement/support it, as it is against their essential commercial interests. And I totally agree with Oliver Bartels and others who proclaim that IPv6 won't take off until the enterprise multihoming issue is solved. Looks like the cat is biting it's tail...
