I also view RFC6296 as a perpetuation of the clear violation of the
end-to-end principle (i.e., ' . . . functions placed at low levels of
a system may be redundant or of little value when compared with the
cost of providing them at that low level . . .') embodied in the
abomination of NAT/PAT into IPv6, and the consequent instantiation of
yet more unnecessary and harmful state into networks which are already
deep in the throes of autogenic thromboembolism.

great rant.  not to quibble but i thought 6296 was stateless.
