Nothing I would be > too happy to see coming back ;-) Oligopolies is the term, I think. IPv6 addressing policy seems to be geared towards that. We know from the IPv4 experience that 20,000+ indepedent entities in the global routing table can be handled easily. So why not try to duplicate this success? > - there has been th discussion regarding "anycast" but isnt this just > a special(?) case of th PI-topic? It depends on the PI criteria. If slots in the global routing tables are kept in short supply *and* you get at most one if you aren't an ISP *and* you need to do IPv6 anycast, you might have a problem because you need two globally visible prefixes (one for your production network, one for anycast). But I think you are right that it makes sense to resolve the PI first, either negatively or positively.
