Wow. Where do you get these ideas?
I would like to see IPv6 succeed, simply because static addresses make
robust network applications easier to write. The fact that a modem burp
destroys a user's ssh login session, for example, can be traced directly
to the fact that IPv4 addresses are expensive.
If, however, the IPv6 transition plan remains at this idiotic ``people
climb mountains'' level of development, then IPv6 will not succeed in
the foreseeable future.
