> block “rogue” (read: tracking) IPs. With IPv6 that's as impractical as blocking "rogue" FQDNs.

Why? Just block ranges.

Um, collateral damage?

I'm supposed to be penalized for colocating my gear in a data center (i.e. routable prefix) that hosts a tracker?

If your scheme were implemented the tracker companies would certainly respond by buying a 1U in every data center they can find and buying one routable IP from every carrier in each facility. They can easily afford this.

If your business model involves keeping statistics on users use of your site is that necessary for the business?

"involves" doesn't mean "would be dead without"

Can you run ad supported businesses in Europe? What does would be dead without? Analytics are used to refine / target site design etc
