Well, yes, and there were several years when I frequently found myself
in hotel rooms having to manually set the IPv4 MTU on my laptop to a
low value, when connecting through broken dial-up ISPs. No doubt
we'll also go through some years before all operators are providing
an adequately large MTU to cope with IPv6-in-foo tunnels. I don't
think any transition solution can hope to be 100% watertight
on this. We'll make the changes that Rémi mentioned, but
you're correct that IPv6-in6a44 tunnels might have MTU issues.
