I'd imagine the vast majority of the customers of ISPs who are facing this 
issue would react either with anger or non-comprehension if presented with such 
a position. If you were running such a network, would you risk it?

I'm confused: why would an ISP merge/extra layer of CGN for the ISP to relay 
that position to their customers? My impression is that we're talking about 
ISP-side (only) . I'd think this would be handled by the ISP changing the IP 
address on the WAN side of the CPE via normal provisioning systems if/whern 
collisions occur with the merged/layered network.
