And yet, in order to "turn off the lights on IPv4", we're going to have to root through all those dark corners of code
The part that you might be missing is that those dark corners are also where the vulnerabilities hide. If a piece of software can’t do v6, it probably hasn’t been maintained for a long time. With software bills of materials coming up, we may have a bit more leverage on these graveyard decks than we have had until now. Your main argument unfortunately does hold water; the timeline you propose, maybe not so much. Grüße, Carsten
