I completely agree. And, if the NIST Profile were directed at commodity router vendors, e.g. for enterprise networks of Govt agencies, there would be some logic in that. However, all IPv6 networks owned and operated by the Government are not that sort of network. This is similar to Alain Durand's point about cable modems, where you want the smallest possible memory footprint when supplying the needed services.
