Do you count NAT64 or MAP as carrier grade NAT?

One thing that occurs to me though is that it's sort of in an ISP's interest
to deploy v6 on the client side because each new v6 site that lights up on
the internet side is less traffic forced through the CGN gear which is ultimately a cost down. So maybe an alternative to a death penalty is a molasses penalty:
make the CGN experience operable but bad/congested/slow :)

Hm, sounds like NAT64 or MAP to me (although, honestly, we may end up making MAP "too good".)
