Apparently I did not quite express myself correctly enough, I meant to 
highlight that it is only theoretically irresponsible, in the sense that 
we would not condone that action now.

I do not believe that actors in good faith should be penalized at any 
later date for their quite appropriate and responsible activity in the 
context of the time it was done. I am proudly unwoke.

However, to carry the analogy further, should you then wish to 
capitalize and perform your own subdivision, I would fully expect 
current zoning and regulation to be applied, as well as tax re-evaluation.

And that would also be fair, appropriate and responsible.

Put any other way, you are calling lazy people whom do not put in the 
effort to make your use of IPv6 more rewarding for you.

I cant agree with that characterization. In fact its sort of the 
reverse. You are the lazy one, expecting the rest of the network to 
implement all the plumbing to satisfy your needs and priorities over theirs.
