We received mainly positive feed back on the mailing list but at the 
presentation what we heard was generally negative and "don't go there", 
"please stop" etc.

Not that many voices but those who spoke were firmly negative.

So while many members seem to agree that the PA/PI difference is something 
we should get rid of, the roots go deep and a even if we just want to 
start fresh in IPv6 it affects almost every area.

I still think it would be a good thing but I am not sure about how to 
accomplish such a change.

Cheers,

Daniel
