Apologies if I took what you said more positively (IMHO) than what you wanted 
to express.

I am still curious to see how NAT64 is implemented, including in open-source 
code.
However, I am fine with leaving aside for the time being this question of code 
complexity (as you say subject to YMMV), and with focusing on what operational 
features depend on this capability.  

Cheers,
