I would love a demonstration of a painless renumbering of a large IPv6 site over various timescales using these or other mechanisms which might be brought forward onto the IETF standards track, and would personally try to help get a successful demonstrator some good press attention. Perhaps you know of some organization that could use some of that from a Mac-wielding BSD nerd who votes in the European Union? Small qualifier: large should be something like MIT[v4] (which has not renumbered out of 18/8[v4], for example), rather than the largest IPv6 sites in existence today, which I bet are somewhat smaller.
