I suspect more NAT will become a better solution than migrating to IPv6
if/when runout becomes a problem because there's just not enough
visibility or providers that take it seriously enough for IPv6 to be a
viable solution. I try to do my part but it's a horrible pain.

As far as HE goes, they're so pro-IPv6 I would be surprised if anything
intentionally bad was going on. I wish more providers had their attitude
towards IPv6.
