Two points:
- There is no claim AFAIK that the stateless solution fits all situations. 
There is only a claim that some will use it alone if they can, because of its 
simplicity, that some will combine it with dynamic mechanisms, and that some 
may prefer dynamic mechanisms alone.
- As IPv6-enablement is generalized, less and less traffic will be in IPv4. 
Thus, each IPv4 address will become sharable among more and more customers.

Is this acceptable?
