garbage.  you can't expect to be taken seriously when you say things like that.

also garbage.  there is now 15 years of experience with ipv4 NAT among 
application developers and users that indicates otherwise.

there are many valid reasons for killing it, and few valid reasons for keeping 
it.    some of us doing our best to eliminate the few valid reasons that remain.

people who cite the "real world" as a justification for anything are already on 
thin ice.  what this essentially means is "you should conform to my prejudices 
because I cannot defend them".

it's not even observation.  it's delusion.
