You are absolutely correct, this is not to replace the whitelist, this is 
on top of it. There are different discussions going on right now on how to 
make the whitelisting process easier/more universal/more automated, but 
this realisticly is on top of that. In the grand scheme of things, once 
people measure the # of broken users for each resolver that hits them, 
they can then automagicly whitelist the servers which are within the SLA 
for "broken users" without any ISP out there applying for the whitelist -- 
doing this hack is simply a tool to guarantee that your resolver will pass 
the "SLA test" (ie we won't break too many users if we whitelist your 
resolver).

Yes, I think most people *will* have a stricter requirement then Google 
does for their "ipv6 beta program" (say, no more then 1/10,000 broken users 
behind your resolvers), and I will be very surprised if google doesn't 
tighten up their requirements as well (or at least conciders doing so) in 
the near future, but, clearly, working for a competitor, I won't speak 
for them :)

To me, breaking 1/2000 users (which is what happends today) is not 
acceptable when rolled out on a larger scale (10's or 100's of millions of 
users), but that's just me, and, I do not believe that the Google ipv6 
pilot is anywhere near that scale yet...
