then the purpose is to work around the NAT, not necessary related
to the private addresses. if for any reason, people still want to
use NAT for v6, then those applications still need to adjust. there
is no other way around it. i can understand why people hate NAT
for various reasons, but private address is not equal to NAT.
The problems related to NAT and those related to private addresses are
in most cases the same.
