I view IPv6 as the biggest mistake of my career and feel responsible for this horrible outcome and I do apologise to Internet users for it. This dual-stack is the worst possible outcome, and we've been here over two decades, increasing cost and reducing service quality. We should have performed better, we should have been IPv6 only years ago.
I believe this is slowly sinking in among the technology evangelists and geeks who managed to drive the half-assed dual-stack transition a decade or two ago. No one will argue for dual-stack anymore. So where does that put us in a decade or two? Which protocol is optional? Bjørn
