Seems like an understatement.   Ipv6 addressing doesn't merely make
them more difficult,
they make traditional propagation methods  and attack techniques that rely
on 'scanning' a network  from outside impossible to execute.

I believe Steve Bellovin has already written extensively on this, and some
of the more plausible alternate non-scanning strategies for worm propagation.
I'm sure Steve has a pointer to the paper in question, which I've managed
to misplace in my senility... ;)
