Just because you give every host a globally routable
address doesn't mean you have to route them. Just
because you route them doesn't mean you have to forward
all traffic to or from them.

Agree, but also practically, there is a higher likelihood 
that a good majority of deployments (enterprise, home of 
wholesale backbones) will be reasonably more accessible over 
time, not less.

You know the new mantras of this day - any computing or 
communications device is only as good as its connectivity.
