Some (not me) might argue it could (further) hamper IPv6 deployment by diverting limited resources.

It may help IPv6 deployment if more V4 addresses are eventually

Assuming the RIRs would ultimately like to provision the usage of

CGN NAT is NOT a transition technology.

DS-LITE is an example of a transition technology 

CGN-NAT is an example of an avoidance of transition technology.
