I disagree with your pessimism, but not with your summary of reality. If that really is the case, then i am not sure why HOMENET exist. So far, all i have gleaned from this group is debates about problems i consider pretty far fetched and irrelevant. Turing routing protocols on cheap routers is not interesting to me.... in fact, i am so boring, and admin a network all day long, that i cant imagine why anyone in their right mind would want more than one subnet in their home.... but that is just me (and 99% of all home users). I have the same apathy towards multihoming. Making IPv6 restore e2e, or the internet model, is a worthy goal and i am glad to help... But, if HOMENET is throwing in the towel, i can lurk somewhere else and you folks can keep debating about OSPF vs RIP and thinking that SPI makes something secure.
