We, people living or born in Asian-Pacific region, are now thinking
about an aggresively new way of address allocation to promote the
healthy IPv6 Internet.

That is, those promoting the healthy IPv6 Internet will be allocated
a lot of IPv4 addresses.

See a recent ID:

        <draft-ohta-address-allocation-00.txt>

        Usage Based Address Allocation Considered Harmful

for details of the proposal.

If you still worry about multihoming, see another recent ID of mine:
