There are some large-ish groups of people out there for whom this will cause issues, eg. people who play console multiplayer gamers (millions of people including Halo/COD/etc players).

As someone who games on Xbox Live, a part of me would actually like to see this become more common with other carriers to force next gen consoles to move to a dedicated server model since the current "pick a host among the gamers in the lobby and hope for the best" model results in a fairly poor experience a lot of time even without pervasive CGNATing.

Unfortunately, things seem to be moving the other way, with PC FPSs (traditionally using dedicated servers) adopting the lobby model - it's why I never moved beyond CoD 4.

And so? You can still opt out?

I can also opt out of my ISP's DNS hijacking, but I don't bother to anymore. (It keeps forgetting me when I get a new address.) It's simply become the new norm.
