And for the basement multi-homers, RA / SLAAC makes this much easier to do with v6. The larger-scale / more mission-critical multi-homers are going to consume an AS and some BGP space whether you like it or not - at least with v6 there's a really good chance that they'll only *ever* need to announce a single-prefix. (Ignore "traffic engineering" pollution, but that doesn't get better or worse).
