Scott,

It is a simple logical consequence.

Middleboxes do not exist in the IPv6 architecture.

firewalls do not exist in IPv6????
load balancers do not exist in IPv6???
content redirectors do not exist in IPv6???

That's largely the IETF specification perspective too...
We don't write our protocols to accommodate middleboxes on the path.
