A stateful firewall doesn't also provides provider independence and an ability to have a form of multi-homing without playing BGP games or even telling your ISPs.

I am also a bit confused how a "dual stack" transition strategy to IPv6 is going to work when the IPv4 address free pool is exhausted in a few years without some form of NAT/ALG, but maybe that's just me.
