Lots of objections though (the "providers and geography don't align" one though is ultimately slightly bogus, because with non-provider-aligned allocation policies in place it would be in providers interests to align their peering to match the allocation policy). FWIW, my current IPv6 assignment is PI to a degree (where P == my first hop IPv4 provider), I can change this "first hop IPv4" provider to any other provider within my country and still retain my IPv6 assignment. That kind of "PI" at least meets a lot of my needs. But it will disappear as soon my "first hop" provider offers native IPv6 - I'll have to give up my more mobile assignment then. I.e. my IPv6 experience is /better off/ if ISPs in my country do /not/ deploy IPv6.. ;) But that doesn't match the stated requirement of 'conventional', 'proven', 'working' [sic], 'feature-complete'.
