(a bunch of stuff in defense of NAT)
Rather than having another of an endless series of discussions about
the merits of NAT or lack thereof, can we just agree that it should

You absolutely want to have fairly fixed addresses within
your home network, and you absolutely want to have a short-lived
ephemeral IP-Address assigned on your internet side of your
home gateway for the purpose of privacy.
Otherwise the number of very unpleasant surprises, including
stuff like this:

is going to become quite popular. And that is really among the
mild unpleasant things if every bit that floats in and out
your internet gatway has your name stamped on it visibly
to everyone.
