maybe not from a users standpoint (that comes later when it misbehaves
again). from an implementors (I have written a lot of kernel-side
networking code and networking related daemons, including a full-blown
bgpd, and that unfortunately included having to deal with v6)
viewpoint - IPv6 is a desaster. Why people take up that crap is beyond
me, instead of working on a viable alternative that doesn't suck.
Which is certainly possible.
