* Lorenzo Colitti:
I think what I said is that supporting DHCPv6-only networks will eventually force OS manufacturers to implement IPv6 NAT. This is because there are many features inside a mobile OS that require multiple IP addresses.
On many networks, there will be fairly tight limits on the number of usable addresses per “port” even with SLAAC, similar to the evolution of Ethernet switching, which led to configurable limits of MAC addresses per port. So you'll likely need IPv6 NAT in the future anyway.
