And v6 without PI for will not get widespread adoption.

Further, ULA will become de facto PI without aggregation.  Hence my believe
that ULA is a bad idea, and, my recommendation that we face the reality that
PI is an important thing (unless we want to replicate the v4 NAT mess).
As such, I'd much rather see us develop sane PI policy than continue down
the present road.
