Because using IPv6 doesn't mean a default route, and it's stupid to have to
build provisioning domains and putting all that crap into every application
is dumb.

Devices *on* the aircraft will talk to the Internet and also talk to the
airframe, and yes, there are plenty for firewalls.

I disagree.  This smells of RFC1918 all over again.
They are not auditable.
