The whole IPv6 world is currently anti-competitive. Power is shifted
to the bigger players more than in the v4 world. Independence from
suppliers is not granted to smaller shops anymore. A technical
scaling problem is used as an excuse to the conveniently raise the
bar (currently [amongst other constraints] using some arbitrary quantity
[number of customers] to qualify - hrhr).

Even if a technical solution comes out of the multi6 WG, I have some
serious doubts that the "internet core" will implement/support it, as
it is against their essential commercial interests. And I totally agree
with Oliver Bartels and others who proclaim that IPv6 won't take
off until the enterprise multihoming issue is solved. Looks like the
cat is biting it's tail...
