[ipv6-wg] Hijacking unused address space for a private infrastructure - any legal consequences?

Domain isolation is good up to the point that "Option C style" is needed (for E2E services, without any GW in the middle)
Then domain isolation would become not so isolated.
It is the rear case now, but Cloud/DC is a good example of when it is better not to have an additional gateway for service stitching.

Much better wrt address consumption, but still SR6 has unsolved security problems.

As a consequence, SR6 can only be deployed if your network is fully disconnected from everyone else (including possibly untrusted customers)
- and if you have that, it does not really matter what addresses you use.
