Why not focus on IPv6? It has no NAT. Kind of a paradigm shift if you
think about it. Well worth the energy in the long haul. And "In-depth
promotion" of IPv6 would not hurt its cause.

Don't you agree it might be better to focus on the IPv6 protocol than
to keep defending/securing a pretty much deprecated and older
implementation? Old as in "built with less experience." I know that NAT
is still being widely used by many but the reasons for this might bring
up interesting debates. IPv6 does make NAT obsolete and any form of
academic research on the security and defence of IPv6 implementations
would probably have a longer TTL. I'd welcome those documents any day.

So that's my $0.02.
