I remember hearing some apocryphal story about a tech being frustrated that the numpad on your keyboard doesn't have a-f or ':' keys. Another way in which it doesn't fit with the way we do things in v4. More to your point, I think this illustrates two things -- the need to use DNS more instead of static numbering in v6, and to number your infrastructure in the lowest /48 or /64 subnet of your allocation so that you can enjoy the benefit of omission of leading zeros for things you might actually need to type in by hand (e.g. 2001:db8:1f70::1)
