All this monomanic ISP-bashing needs to stop now, if IPv6 is ever
to take off in any manner.

The claim that RH0 is "just a tool" and that there is no "amplification"
is narrow-sighted at best, since I understood from what has been
discussed here that it can indeed cause excessive bandwith utilization
along a path, and is therefore a much too useful tool in a miscreant's
hand to let loose on the unsuspecting masses.

Also, please do note, one man's tool to "select which ISP to use" can
easily be viewed by the ISPs as a tool for theft of service, inducing
routers to carry packets between customers A and B where neither
customer has any direct or indirect customer/provider relationship
with the providers of the path which is being used.  Why would any
reasonable ISP tolerate such (potential) behaviour?
