I don't know about that.  It is one of those things that you don't do
unless you need to.  That is, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".  Of
course, non-end-to-end connectivity is what I would consider broken, but
it's not really fixable for most people until IPv6 is rolled out.  I
imagine that there will be a decent reduction in 'net traffic since a
lot of NAT traversal mechanisms will no longer be necessary then.  Of
course, that also means that there will be a fair lot of services that
will also no longer be needed on the 'net, since their sole purpose in
life is to get around NATs.
