Not mentioned in this writeup, is the added complexity of not using IPv6 inside.

IPv6 has an on-demand, probabalistic-unique unroutable address assignment model called ULA and it was made for something like this. Instead of NAT and the like, this framework could have been using semantic address models in the bits of the IPv6 address space, and delivered V6 to the edge.

But they went v4 only, and acquired all the growing pains of making that work.
