End-to-end requires that people writing the software at the end learn about buffer overruns (and other data-driven access violations) or program using tools that prevent such things. It is otherwise an excellent idea. Unfortunately, the day that someone decided their poorly-designed machine and operating system would be safer sitting behind a "firewall" pretty much marked the end of universal end-to-end connectivity, and I don't see it coming back for a long long time. Probably not on this Internet. IPv6 or not. Combine that with ISP pricing models (helped by registry policy) that encourage <=1 IP address per household, and the subsequent boom in NAT boxes, and the fate is probably sealed.
