Again, I think we have a solid work around but looking at the controversy that this discussion has caused, a non ISP-centric policy would be useful.
The policy might seem ISP-centric, but that's just a coincidence. It reflects the opinion of many in the ops-community that it doesn't make sense to migrate to IPv6 until it is able to provide more than just an extended address-space. At least not as long as there is no *real* shortage of v4-addresses. Unfortunately, very few seem willing to admit that in public. The current policy will work in a future that has mechanisms to separate identifiers from locators. Maybe some people should revise their short-term expectations wrt IPv6. //per -- Per Heldal http://heldal.eml.cc/
