Dear Ahmed,

We are aware of many similar technologies that would fulfill the same or 
similar goal, but what we are doing here is just listen to complains and 
requests from the field and try to make deployment of IPv6 (native or as 
service in this case) as easy as possible with this change of the policy 
proposal.

Reality usually wins :)

Cheers, Jan
