When speaking of IPv6 deployment, I routinely hear about host security.
I feel like it should be stated that this is *in no way* an IPv6 issue.
May the device be ULA, LLA, GUA or RFC1918-addressed, the device is at
risk anyway.

If this is the only argument for delaying IPv6 deployment, this sounds
more like FUD to me ;-)
