Sure.
Right or wrong, I understood that what Jacni suggested is that the v4/v6 
address mapping would be able to assign full IPv4 addresses to CEs, but no 
longer IPv4 prefixes.

If I misunderstood, end of this subject for me.
Otherwise, I argue that keeping IPv4-prefix support isn't difficult.

Hope it clarifies.
 
Cheers,
RD
