the question is not about me, but thanks for turning the discussion
personal.  have you stopped beating your routers?

the issue is can we 'fix' policy to cover for the fact that v6
was only 1/3 designed, long addresses but no routing and no
transition plan?

i am suggesting that the policy fixes will be infinite and ever
more twisty, as there is only so much one can do to cover that
the underlying technology is not even half-assed.
