The objective of 6rd has been to make native IPv6 connectivity quickly available to millions of residential customers.
For this, it was important to relieve the first concerned ISP of fear, uncertainty, and doubt, concerning expenses to be incurred.

This objective has been brilliantly achieved when Free, after only 5 weeks, evolved from "we don't want to spend a Euro on IPv6" to "IPv6 is available to our customers who wish to activate it with a click".
  
If promoting IPv6, not only with words but also in reality, is considered a legitimate objective, then it is fair to view 6rd as a "good design" for what it was set to achieve.
Similarly, what Free did should be seen as a "remarkably fast and effective implementation".

No hard feelings, but I felt this needed to be said.
