Surely that second quote should be "crap, now macrumors can tell that one person in our office follows them obsessively"? Unless there's publically-available information that indicates that IP address is your CEO's (which is a whole other topic -- publically available rDNS for company-internal IPv6 ranges). In addition, IPv6 supports temporary addresses that can change every day. If your browser binds to a temporary address, and it changes daily, then
the anonymizing feature of NAT becomes a whole lot less useful.
NAT is still evil though, the problems it causes operationally are just plain not worth it. Amen to that. I think evil sums up NAT nicely :)
