We should simply adopt IPV6.1, where it's just IPV4 with moar bits and adoption will soar. We can then think if we want some aspects of IPV6.0 also.

- zamadatix 7y agov6 is a perfectly fine protocol. It just lacked hardware and the pressure of actually being scarce on resources. I don't think anyone thought it would take 25 years to hit 50% adoption but now that we are getting close to that point it doesn't really make sense to swap again for something that's not supposed to solve any more problems.
