Furthermore, I should clarify that I’m taking no position whatsoever against what I view to be an effort to update IPv6 Address Assignment to End Sites [RFC 6177] to drop the following reaffirmation on page 3:

      A key principle for address management is that end sites always be
      able to obtain a reasonable amount of address space for their
      actual and planned usage, and over time ranges specified in years
      rather than just months.  In practice, that means at least one
      /64, and in most cases significantly more.  One particular
      situation that must be avoided is having an end site feel
      compelled to use IPv6-to-IPv6 Network Address Translation or other
      burdensome address conservation techniques because it could not
      get sufficient address space.

I no longer feel this must be avoided. It’s too late to stop that from happening. It now seems perfectly acceptable that end sites should feel compelling to use IPv6-to-IPv6 Network Address Translation or other burdensome address conservation techniques because it cannot get sufficient address space.
