Did I mention home user? :)

But even so, a quick, non-scientific survey of what my friends run 'at 
home' suggests about 1 in 4 run more than one routing device in the home 
if for no reason than to get either additional wired ports or extend WIFI 
coverage.

Looking at some SOHO type businesses I've dealt with, a majority of them 
do have multiple routing devices.  Again not just because they need them 
to actually run multiple subnets but because the business grew and they 
needed more ports in more places.  Regardless the devices just have to 
work.  Multiply NAT'ed IPv4 will be replaced by multiply nested IPv6 PD.
