the selfsame arguments some years ago.  the current generally accepted
'wisdom,' with little supporting measurement, is that iv6 address space
is effectively infinite and the ipv6 routing table is a very scarce
resource.  that this resembles pigs at a trough constructing a barrier
to entry is not a widely held perception.
