:) My point was not really to push a particular technology, although
we believe ds-lite is worth looking at or ISC wouldn't have
implemented and released it. (Among other things it does put the pain
of figuring out deployment in more or less the same place that IPv4
exhaustion will be felt: in service-provider networks that will need
to grow after the end of the unallocated IPv4 without leaving behind
legacy customers.)

My point was more that there *are* alternatives in this space that
didn't exist until fairly recently, there's now a much bigger solution
space for the gap between IPv4 runout and global-scale native IPv6
deployment than maybe people think....

But it's going to take some effort to find and use the technology
that's right for you and your network, so start allocating that
resource now if you haven't yet.
