I have to disagree with this. The reason NAT is popular is not because users are stupid. Users indeed are stupid (count me in, I use NAT) but they will continue using NAT as long as the pros outweigh the cons. It is too late to do anything about IPv4 NAT, but if we see IPv6 NAT happening it will be our collective failure to provide solutions that are better.
