I see you call the "old-style" way "legacy NAT".

Does this mean it's officially seen inside Cisco as "legacy and will
eventually go away"?

(I can't really see any benefits in the NVI stuff, except "it looks more
like NAT on other vendors' SOHO routers, so it looks good in computer
magazine tests", but can see quite some drawbacks - less flexibility, 
more code complexity, new bugs...)
