[ppml] getting converts to V6

[Heather Schiller]

So, why isn't your complaint that no one has built a good, reasonable, 
easy method or tool for renumbering or developed an assignment scheme or 
way of routing that would allow you to not have to renumber or renumber 
entirely?   There's more than one way to handle a problem.  Why must PI 
always be the answer?  (because the other is harder? takes more time? 
more collaboration? __?)
