All this unfilterable ICMP makes for interesting times - I've already run across ND storms caused remotely (deliberately, IMHO). Insane policies such as /64s for p2p link addresses don't help, either.
And the consonance of the English letters 'B', 'C', 'D', & 'E' when spoken aloud is quite likely to prove a major security issue, IMHO. Time for folks to adopt the phonetic alphabet, if they absolutely must communicate verbally.
IPv6 has all the security issues associated with IPv4, plus a few new ones which are unique to IPv6. Denying the latter doesn't make them go away.
