So your point is that those who claimed it would not help managed to make it so? Would it have really hurt to remove experimental status and replace it with use at your own risk status? Even now?
now go test that on every exisitng ipv4 device on the planet that's not getting an upgrade.
Thanks to (continuing) shortsightedness that course of action is still foreclosed.
it doesn't extend the life of ipv4 usefully and it wouldn't have if we started 10 years ago either.
You dont know either of those. However, by continuing to insist on them, you make it so.
the goal in stringing along ipv4 is to not hose your current or potential customers rather than prevent still more obstacles to their success.
