Thank you all. It's not the protocol that hurts. It's rethinking the

The only place for security through obscurity IMHO is a small round
container that sits next to my desk.

Besides, if you don't advertise it, a GUA prefix is just as obscure as a
ULA prefix and provides a larger search space in which one has to hunt
for it... Think /3 instead of /8.

Security thru obscurity. It actually has a place in some worlds. Does
that
make sense? Or are such V4-centric approaches a bad thing in v6?

Though it is rare, this is one time when I absolutely agree with
Randy.

It's even more rare for me to agree with Randy AND Owen at the same
time.
