A point I have been trying to make for several years now is that we have 
already set a recommended default in many places for "block all incoming 
connections" at unmanaged Internet gateways.  We probably had a chance to 
reverse course on this for IPv6 in the middle of the last decade, but not 
anymore.  We now have a strategic direction we have been following for quite 
some time now, and we have too much invested in it to turn back.

I think the credit for preserving the continuity of the IPv4/NAT experience 
with the transition to IPv6 should go to the IAB and the IESG.  The HOMENET 
architecture should throw in the towel on E2E and go with RFC 6092 on by 
default at the border gateway.  It should be silent about PCP until something 
can be done about its lack of explicit support for nested security domains.
