Good point, but still in my eyes that does not count as too significant
factor, as it is impossible to have a generic ALG and I've understood ALGs
in CPEs are not very much desired?

So.. then.. is this sentence really still the IETF recommendation in the
current state of affairs:
--
   IETF recommends using dual-stack or tunneling based solutions for
   IPv6 transition and specifically recommends against deployments
   utilizing double protocol translation.
