Perry & Geoff, Quite simply, a bunch of us *are* searching for a paradigm shift. Geoff's good work in this area reveals the complexity of the whys and wherefores of the routing system. Given that 8+8 was a serious consideration (and to some deserves some amount of revisiting -- at least as a starting point), I don't believe we can say that the deployment of v6 is completely divorced from the routing system. 8+8 is merely an existence proof of how the routing system and v6 can be intertwined, for better or worse.
