Depends on your definition of "behind the curve".  You could make the
argument that folks who aren't IPv6 ready now are behind the curve.  A
weak argument considering IPv4 works perfectly fine for those of
'behind the curve'.

I agree with Bill.  You can poopoo NAT all you want, but it's a fact
of most networks and will continue to remain so until you can make a
compelling case to move away from it.

On that note, it's awesome that Fernando is seeking feedback this
early in the game.  Kudos to you sir.

That's correct: you don't understand. Until you do, just accept: there
are more than a few folks who want to, intend to and will use NAT for
IPv6. They will wait until NAT is available in their preferred
products before making any significant deployment efforts.

Actually, the few like you will hold off until they are behind the curve,
then scramble to catch up. Good luck with that strategy!
