Totally fair point, Gert--and you're right, I'm biased
in my thinking, as I'm focused on all the use cases
I run into, at work and at home.  I'm not used to
thinking of "web browsing only" type users, for
whom prefix changes won't have as much of an
impact.

But you're right.  My home network, Owen's
home network...indeed, most likely none of
ours would be the anticipated target of such
efforts.

Thanks for the reminder, that when it
comes to networking, we are the 0.1%.  :/

Thanks!

Matt
