I'd have to counter with "the assumption that NATs are going
away with v6 is a rather risky assumption." Or perhaps I
misunderstood your point...

There is one thing often overlooked with regard to NAT.  That is,
it has prevented many network based worms for millions of home
users behind NAT devices.  Unfortunatly this fact is overlooked
all the time.  NAT has its downsides but also upsides sometimes.
