Quantizine the value of the benefit is important when determining how much to
spend to mitigate issues.

I think that we should not oversell the benefits, but that doesn't mean there
are none. (I think that the benefits have been oversold within the IETF)

I'd like to see 6man look to better APIs for address selection.
That would include outreach (which means listening to user communities, not
telling them what to do), hackathons, BCPs and evangelism/promotion.
