Instead, you have small end sites getting /48s from tunnel providers,
and then running maybe two or three hosts on those.

And seriously, does the main assumption of v6, that every single
toaster out there is going to become a v6 host, really not scare
anyone?  Giving IP connectivity to stuff that was just not designed
from a security point of view .. I'm sure people have seen all the
stories about network printers and electron microscopes running open
relay smtp daemons, so when do I get to see a botnet full of
compromised toasters that'll burn your toast to cinders if you try to
disinfect them?
