As with declaring fragmentation "harmful", removing in-the-network fragmentation in IPv6 was a black-and-white decision point that doesn't match well with the real world. In-the-network fragmentation is useful as long as the endpoints have a way of knowing that it is happening. In-the-network fragmentation provides a means for the endpoints to sense that something is out of tune and then make the necessary adjustments to tune it out.
