Of course it does mean that people <gasp> have to learn something new when adopting IPv6.
Is anyone else reading this and the word "condescending" _not_ popping into their heads?
The only other charitable conclusion I can draw is "Somebody hasn't spent time chasing down people with misconfigured laptops on the wireless who are squawking RA's for 2002:" There's a *big* operational difference between "all authorized and properly configured routers know who they are" and "all nodes that think they're routers (deluded though they may be) know who they are".
