Yes, that's the real issue. As there isn't enough IPv4, you need to NAT
them to be able to forward them. As you can have any distinct IPv6 you
want, you don't need artificial way to have more adresses than
available. So the old way doesn't work anymore, but it's useless. Now,
needing to have the old way and the new way at the same time is
difficult. I can understand it. But it doesn't mean the new way is bad.
