If the ops community doesn't provide enough addresses and a way to use
them then the vendors will do the same thing they did in v4. It's not
clear to me where their needs don't coincide in this case.
there are three legs to the tripod
network operator
user
equipment manufacturer
They have (or should have) a mutual interest in:
Transparent and automatic configuration of devices.
The assignment of globally routable addresses to internet
connected devices
the user having some control over what crosses the boundry
between their network and the operators.
