Agreed
An additional line showing a + for stateful can cover the point.

Partially agreed.
- If all IPv6 customers are given the same number of IPv4 ports, 4rd doesn't 
imply anything on Pv6 routing.,
- If there are several 4over6 concentrators, there are constraints on the IPv6 
routing to ensure satisfactory load sharing between them with stable routes.
- Furthermore, if these concentrators are far from one another, they imply that 
the IPv4 backbone ensures symmetric routing so that all return traffic from a 
concentrator comes back to it.

Agreed, at least concerning the first point above.
I view it as a convenient discussion tool.
