Thank you. This is the first time that someone admits here that NAT actually adds some security. IPv4 will never go away less that an important share because of it's simplicity and NAT-level security it offers to millions of professionals and amateurs that tinker with their routers.
NAT introduces complexity, not simplicity.
Besides, NAT isn't a security feature.
Secure and reliable IPv6 deployment has _more_ complexity than IPv4.
SLAAC is more complex than IPv4 w/ NAT w/ DHCPv4? Serious?
Assign a /56, firewall in place already dropping anything not explicitly allowed, done.
