I think this goes both ways. I was responding to someone on the FreeBSD mailing list that is hell-bent on using ULA's for his IPv6 network, likely because his IPv4 network is RFC 1918-based. A lot of the enterprise scope still believe NAT = security. So I think we shall see slow uptake of IPv6 in that space until a NAT66 solution is in place with $favorite_firewall_vendor. I suppose the thought of assigning your printer a public IPv6 address, even though it is behind a firewall, is such a foreign concept to many. At a service provider level, we are struggling to get our customers to turn-up IPv6, and yet network operations is their bread and butter.
