That means that each of the public pools will have to have buffer, vs. sharing the buffer over fewer CGN clusters.

If I have been reading this thread correctly, it sounds as though one of the primary drivers for this request is the inadequacy of much residential CPE.  How long is the typical replacement cycle for residential CPE (ie, how long could we expect this block to be "necessary")?

Just to comment...  I'm sure there are residential providers that are still deploying IPv6-unfriendly gear such as DOCSIS 2.0 cable modems even though DOCSIS 3.0 has been available for several years.  I see no reason for the IETF to help mitigate operational complexities during transition for providers that are just now recognizing that IPv6 could be an "issue".
