- wmf 5y agoYes, and then the motivation for IPv6 would have arrived sooner.
- p1mrx 5y agoSo basically, we should have used IPv4 addresses more profligately in the '90s, in order to pull the runout date forward from 2014 to 199x-200x, increasing the urgency of the transition. That's not the worst idea I've ever heard.
