Not to mention that when you take tools -away- from people that solve an
existing problem, you'll get a lot of pushback.
NAT solves exactly one problem. It provides a way to reduce address consumption
to work around a shortage of addresses.
It does not solve any other problem(s).
As such, taking it away when giving you a large enough address space that there
is no longer a shortage doesn't
strike me as taking away a tool that solves a problem. It strikes me as giving
you a vastly superior tool that solves
rather than working around a problem.
