I don't think it'll ever make money, but I think it will reduce

you just blew years' worth of margin.

There aren't enough folk thinking along these lines, so thank you for
writing it.

Every flow you can route exclusively with 6, is one flow you aren't
having to pay extra for so it can sit in a CGNAT state table.

... And that's before they call you, as Tim also rightly points out.
