NAT also helps very little with renumbering. The only thing that it  
buys you is that you don't have to renumber routers and other devices  
that have their addresses configured staticially sitting behind the  
NAT. But routers can receive prefixes over DHCPv6 and then use those  
prefixes to number their stuff rather than have this done by hand, so  
there is _very_ little need for static address configuration.
