I don't know that anybody can tell how bad it might be. It'd be a shame if it turned out to be really bad, and we had no fallback plan.
Shim6 also has some features which aren't possible with the swamp -- for example, it allows *everybody* to multi-home, down to people whose entire infrastructure consists of an individual device, and to do so in a scaleable way.
I think until you slay the daemon of default global reachability (which is counter to everything IP), draining the swamp is an exercise in futility. Controlling the flooding OTOH is a creative posture.
The point is that in v6, there is not yet a swamp to drain. Joe
