We´re going to regret this later but yes, we might not have any other 
options since the timeline is 2-3years... So if PI is what is needed to 
get IPv6 of the ground, so be it. Hand out PI. But if that fail as the 
tool to get IPv6 flying I would say the need for PI ain´t as big as people 
claim it is.
