Actually, that's one of the most insightful meta-points I've seen on NANOG in a long time.
There is a HUGE difference between IPv4 and IPv6 thinking. We've all been living in an austerity regime for so long that we've completely forgotten how to leave parsimony behind. Even those of us who worked at companies that were summarily handed a Class B when we mumbled something about "internal subnetting" have a really hard time remembering how to act when we suddenly don't have to answer for every single host address and can design a network to conserve other things (like our brain cells).
Suggestions? I feel like I should be able to do something really nice with an absurdly large address space. But lack of imagination or whatever.. I haven't come up with anything that really appeals to me. Thanks, Lee

Thank you all. It's not the protocol that hurts. It's rethinking the culture/philosophy around it.

They're a bad thing in IPv6.
The only place for security through obscurity IMHO is a small round container that sits next to my desk.
Besides, if you don't advertise it, a GUA prefix is just as obscure as a ULA prefix and provides a larger search space in which one has to hunt for it... Think /3 instead of /8.

Guys, The whole purpose of this is that they do NOT need to be global. Security thru obscurity. It actually has a place in some worlds. Does that make sense? Or are such V4-centric approaches a bad thing in v6?

Though it is rare, this is one time when I absolutely agree with Randy.
It's even more rare for me to agree with Randy AND Owen at the same time.
