There's no question, the 6bone could easily survive now with everyone 
announcing whatever they like ...

But the point of the 6bone is to be able to test the real (full scale) 
environment.   That means sites not advertising private prefixes, no
matter what the justification seems to be, because if any site can justify
that, so can every site.

If this means that you need to renumber to fit in the 6bone addresses
from your pTLA, then renumber - that's what all this is supposed to be
about.   And then contribute back whatever you learn from that, so we
can try and make it easier in the future.
