The IPv6 "chickens and eggs" discussion could (and probably will) go on
forever:

service provider -> no content
content provider -> no customers
manufacturers -> no content or customers

IPv6 is the right answer, but for all of the above it costs money to
implement, with no return on investment (without everyone else doing their
bit to progress its rollout). It's therefore not going to happen in a
suitable timescale to avoid the necessity of 'propping-up' IPv4.

I don't like CGN, but the reality is that we're stuck with it.  On this
basis, it's a case of looking for the least-problematic solution.

A dedicated, shared prefix (not from 1918) is the lowest risk for address
conflicts, and easiest to manage and control.
