facile but fallacious fanboyism

  o if ipv6 can not operate as the only protocol, and we will be out
    of ipv4 space and have to deploy 6-only networks, it damned well
    better be able to stand on its own.

  o if ipv6 can not stand on its own, then dual-stack is a joke that
    will be very un-funny very shortly, as one partner in the marriage
    is a dummy.
