> Last example of three is impossible with IPv4/6 dichotomy, and is most important for backward compatibility here - yes, "old" IP holder needs to upgrade their software too[1], but they don't need to get a new IP address, and as a result you don't end up with two isolated "Internets", a.k.a. dual-stack.
