This comment seems to posit that insufficient address space is the only thing
driving deployment of NATs (other than the modestly effective firewalls that
NAT provides), and that's just not correct.
Until the IETF fully understands and appreciates the forces which are driving
the deployment of NAT boxes - which have been spectacularly successful in the
marketplace, far more so than the purported official alternative - they will
continue to eclipse said purported official alternative.
