I think this goes back to my point about DHCP, today there is a business practice and set of business requirements that work for a host of reasons. Expecting that in v6 these requirements will evaporate is not wise. There will have to be some useful TE knobs, I think the operations community would probably like to see those knobs NOT be 'deaggragate' so what other options are there for someone with a single prefix (especially when that prefix is very large).
The community who would like the knob not to be "deaggregate" are the same ones that are doing the deaggregation, which I think is as it should be from a macro level (an organism whose behaviour is harmful to itself will presumably, eventually, learn) even if it's still problematic at a micro level (the individual ASes doing the deaggregation enjoy all the benefit with only a tiny fraction of the collective cost).
As to "there must be better knobs" I think it may be a little late for that; by design (or as a consequence of it) the set of IPv6 knobs is the same as the set of IPv4 knobs.
