If we had a reasonable expectation that a scalable flat routing protocol would be available in 5 years, I would buy the argument. But what do we have today? Zero, not even a believable promise. This is why I used the term "gambling" before. What you are lobbying for is to say that it is OK to give away PI and create the IPv6 swamp because in 5 years we will be able to clean it because by then someone would have invented The Perfect Routing Protocol (C)(TM). We are not developing IPv6 to barely match what v4 does with a bigger address space. We need to make it better. In order to re-create the swamp you have to show a carrot the size of Texas and so far we've not even seen a peanut.
