Nice line.  I don't agree with either your conclusion or your
sentiments, but it is definitely a nice line.

Has work been carried on IPv6 Interface ID Grids to give a quasi illimited number of pre-defined/agreed connection points/ports? (my interest is more "plug and play" and access engine oriented than IPv6 behind NAT or ... IPv8).
