IETF process is so quick that you can see it already. :-)

So is multihoming.

Huh? It's you who asked about IPv6.
Anyway, I think we will use up IPv4 address space before IPv4-style
multihoming kills the backbone. It will happen within 3 years.
A good news is that, not wating multi6 WG conclude, end-to-end
multihoming will be implemented this year and used for commercial
service (IPv4 service will, of course, continue) thanks to funding
from Japanese Goverment.
