There's no PI (yet) for IPv6, so NAT becomes necessary again. People don't like to give up the independence they have in IPv4 world. > because we think we can't get space? For non-ISPs this is fact, given that there is no PI (yet). ISPs are allowed to multihome and have their independent address space, other's are told to be happy with vendor lock-in. IPv6 won't fly like that. But that's no news, but still heads are sticking deeply in the sandbox, unfortunately.
