240/4 is tainted. The fact that some code exist somewhere to make it work is
good, but the reality is that there are tons of equipment that do not
support it. Deploying a large network with 240/4 is a problem of the same
scale as migrating to IPv6, you need to upgrade code, certify equipment,
etc.

Absolutely. I made the point earlier, making 240/4 work is about the same
order of magnitude as movi

Apparently, from what I have gathered from other french people, Free has
rolled out a variation of 6to4 using their own prefix instead of the well
known 2002::/16. As they control their home gateway, this was fairly easy
for them to do and did not require much core infrastructure change. The
