And don't forget.. Once IPv6 gets to the mainstream.. IP Reputation lists are 
going to have a real fun time :) Spammers would love to see IPv6 in place I am 
sure.

You seem to have concluded that blacklisting a prefix is much harder in
ipv6 than it is in v4...

;)  Routing IPv6 is going to require one heck of a thinking re-
adjustment.  Would be nice to just leave IPv6 in the premises, and keep IPv4 
for routing.
