Not new version, but reliable version. I'm not a bleeding-edge fanatic, but I was testing IPv6 during the 6bone[1] phase while networking was not in my scope. It simply made sense to get to know the future.
The person who's comment I was responding to, is in denial 20 years later because they feel comfortable with IP addresses they can remember.

- hot_gril 4y ago20 years later, a lot of things still don't support IPv6, and "IP" commonly means v4 unless otherwise specified. v6 isn't the stable thing yet. Less involved users aren't concerned with much about IP other than the addresses, and v6 changes those when it didn't really have to, so this is what happens. I think the other commenter and I would both happily adopt v6 if it gave us v4-style addresses.
