any hint of what was dreamed at that time ? The real issue is here. We will 
certainly go THROUGH IPv6 just in order to get a /128 plan, on our way to 
the /256 one. The real issue is what is going to be the new routing 
architecture?

That was a long time ago and we've been through quite an evolution in
our thinking, including (as Frank Kastenholz points out) realizing that
anything we did was going to have to last a long time -- no stopgaps --
and a lot of work on architecture that is still going on.
