You know, you zealots are playing this stupid. You've already won: no
NAT in consumer devices means that when (if) IPv4 starts its decline,
nat traversal will leave consumer-focused software. And sooner or
later there will be a consumer app that business has to have.

The only way you can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory is if IPv6
fails to launch. Look around you. IPv6 use on the Internet, actual
use, is still barely in the single digits. If you let us get used to
extending IPv4 with carrier NAT, markets and so on you lose
everything. And if you think the math says that can't happen, you
badly underestimate folks' ingenuity.
