And even if you do need to change providers, once you have your addressing plan in place all you have to change is the prefix.
This is the same as saying "If you need to change providers in IPv4, once you have your addressing plan in place all you have to do is change the prefix", or "To build the Eiffel Tower, all you have to do is bolt bits of metal together" -- it's technically correct*, but handwaves away the actual complexity and scale of work. Yes, you (clearly) can renumber v6 networks, and it's *probably* easier than renumbering v4, but "just change the prefix" oversells it.
Your attempt to hype people that renumbering were easy has zero probability of success here.
Except that it's not failing,
It failed from the beginning.
W *: Yes, the best kind of correct.
