Because, particulatly in 6bone, connectivity is _crap_.
For example, with BGP AS-PATH length of 2, I don't want to see my packets
go from Finland to USA and from there back to Europe.
This or something similar happens if:
1) lots of organizations give transit to lots of organizations ("ad-hoc
network")
and
2) tunneling over longer distances is not strongly frowned upon.
