Also, I wanted to say.

I think you will disagree with my terminology proposals and that's fine.
  I will not argue any further.

We all work towards progressing towards deployment of IPv6 and this
draft and its potential implementation is a step forward.

I think the problem here is a much wider terminology problem.

Starting simply with 'IPv6', some people understand it as a service,
others as a stack of layers, others as a deployment strategy, others
simply as SLAAC, others as the other version of IP, and so on.  It's
then hard to agree about its '-only' variation.

I have first noticed that divergence in the long argumentations in v6ops
WG about 'IPv6-only' and the billions of devices.

And I dont think I can understand, and even less to speak like others
speak, when I think 'IPv6-only'.

So I will leave it there.

Alex
