the very fact that the devices are largely unmanaged, means that if you don'

And historic just told CISCO and Juniper to stop supporting 6to4 in their

because they are managed boxes.

I think this argument is somewhat orthogonal to the problem of supporting 
end-systems... However if your want to explore it, think the author is probably 
in a position to interpret the draft on behalf of his company. Juniper doesn't 
support 6to4 on the big iron.
