Another view (one that I personally hold) is that any effort you might be

I am all for getting fewer people to use 6to4, especially without them
actually making a decision to use it, but giving more people access to high quality (I hope they are) 6to4 relays is seldom a downside.
The drafts you mention make special notes that operators should NOT start
to shut down relays, first of all we need to get fewer people to use 6to4, THEN we start to remove the relays. Starting at the relay end is bad, mmkay.
+1. 6to4 is very bad and should be off my default, but unfortunately many end users unwittingly have it on and this may provide them some relief. More ipv6 leadership from the Comcast camp. Keep it up. Cb
