Networks with Production-Quality will probably have more Experience,
even if it is lacking IPv6-Experience.

Nonsense. Its about keeping 6bone Sites off the DFZ to reduce Bad
Effects within the DFZ.

Oh? Can i have an Explanation for that?

Well, IMHO it would be good to:
 - put sTLAs in the DFZ and let them provide Production Quality
 - put pTLAs outside the DFZ and let them provide a TestingBed
   so they can actually /test/ without harming the DFZ.

No. It will bring any Space to its Purpose, see above.

For any EndCustomer it gets less and less difficult to receive
RIR-Space.

It doesnt effect Facts if you keep repeating yourself. I'd personally
consider it a rather... childish Behaviour.
