Just to clarify this: the problem with PI is not that it's hard to get
- the problem with PI in its current form (i.e.: "BGP routed, non -
aggregateable") is that it puts a burden on all ISP routers out there.

In IPv6, "address space wastage" is much less of a problem than in IPv4 -
but "routing table slots" could be a much more serious issue.
