exactly. don't plan to deploy what breaks things for the user edge. there are two issues here 1/ what ISPs do that might break things at the edge 2/ what edge stuff is doing that will break things at the other end edge of a connection It seems a bit odd that ISPs would actively plot to do 1/ whilst they could be making hard cash helping people at the edge avoid 2/ Odd because it adds a 3/ element which is stuff at the edge which will break stuff in the network.

Is there not a bit of CPE needed here? What should the CPE do? and not do? should it deprecate NAT/PAT when it receives 1918 allocation from a CGN?
Careful with that idea -- people like their in-home network to continue functioning even when their ISP is down or having an outage.
