Nat is not end to end 'transparent' no matter how you define it, and will
break all the stuff you claim works when it is operated by a third party.
Nat in the core will be nothing like nat at the edge, and all the
assumptions people make about how wonderful life would be with 'just more
nat' are going to end up wondering how to get rid of the CGN mess once it
gets deployed. 

Be careful what you wish for, it just might come true...
