I believe that the comment is not a personal opinion but a reflection of the acceptance rate of IPv6. If most of the web still uses IPv4 and not using IPv6 is still defended with the "people against new things" arguments, it shows that there is at least one thing that prevents people from using it. Considering that the new kid on the block is 26 years old, I think, there is more than one.
- lostapathy 5y agoAny new protocol is going to have adoption costs. The "issue" with ipv6 is that for a lot of people/organizations, the tolerable cost of adoption is still pretty much zero. Adding yet another protocol to the mix would not make that better.
- emptybottle 5y agoYou are right, v6 is mostly a new protocol. But it's been been advertised as an updated version. It just contains essentially 100% breaking changes.
- feldrim 5y agoBy no means I did support the use of another protocol. All I focused on was that the IPv6 could not be a huge success over IPv4. For the previous 26 years, pros weren't enough to eliminate the cons. At least the overall usage ratio can be comprehended this way.
