Very smart people can and do come up with bad ideas, and IPv6 is a textbook example of this phenomenon, heh. I certainly bear my share of the responsibility for this state of affairs by not getting involved, and leaving the heavy lifting to others.
The reason for standing on the shoulders of giants should not be to piss on them.
I sense an unnecessary level of acrimony here. No one is pissing on the work done by the many folks who have spent many years hashing out v6 work. But I think you are missing a larger point -- much of the security community has been summarily dismissed in its concerns along the way. $.02, - - ferg -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP Desktop 9.5.3 (Build 5003) wj8DBQFNJXTUq1pz9mNUZTMRAs9BAKDh1N+BJFgmbROPSIOf+rM5v+Ol1ACbBfcr qXiMOvfkjLtTaQX55I+Sc2U= =aFv3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- "Fergie", a.k.a.
