Perhaps you are too young to realize that the original IPv6 plan was not designed to be backward compatible to IPv4, and Dual-Stack was developed (through some iterations) to bridge the transition between IPv4 and IPv6? You may want to spend a few moments to read some history on this.
ROFL!!! if there is anything you can do to make me that young, you could have a very lucrative career outside of the internet. hint: unfortunately i already had grey hair in the '90s and was in the room for all this, and spent a few decades managing to get some of the worst stupidities (TLA, NLA, ...) pulled out of the spec. at iij, we rolled ipv6 on the backbone in 1997. randy
