Hi Geoff,

> From my memory I believe it was because some folk  thought that a) unicast reverse route filtering would be prevalent in IPv6 and that b) clients could not negotiate filters with their provider.  But is a) true? and is b) really true? Frankly I'm pretty sceptical that this is the case and it concerns me that this is a case of over solving.

From my personal experience here in The Netherlands: a) yes, b) yes. At least for home users and small/medium sized businesses. A lot of them use cheap DSL based internet access, and they do uRPF for IPv4 and refuse to deploy an IPv6 service that can not do uRPF. And because the service is cheap, the ISP has no budget for b)...
