don't believe for a moment that v6 to v4 protocol translation is any less
ugly than CGN.

True, but the ugliness of NAT64 and friends will decrease over time as more people go v6. The ugliness of IPv4 in general, and CGN/LSN will likely increase over time as people have to jump through more NAT hoops to reach an increasingly ugly/fragmented IPv4 Internet.
