I also strongly second this view.
This discussion is about easying SOHO and HOME deployment, but it seems to
me that the quality involved with using this mechanism might turn users
against IPv6 usage.
The focus should be to:
a) ISPs requesting addresses
b) getting the BGP sessions up and running
c) ISPs going dual-stack on their backbone
d) ISPs extending native IPv6 to their customers "door" (SOHO *and* HOME)


Again -- you All -- have a good time in Vienna.
