No, I'm not saying that at all.

This policy change is about creating a viable migration path for non-isp
PI users before the IPv4 panic begins.  Shim6 was seen as not doing that
even if/when it was widely deployed.

A scalable routing architecture that is a suitable replacement for PI 
for end sites would be great.  Please don't give up on that.
