Hot take. IPv6 adoption is never going to hit 100% because SNI routing covers most of the cases people actually need. If UDP functionality is necessary QUIC will be used. I wish this wasn't the case. It would be nice if the software was good enough that more people were enabled to self host.

- kccqzy 3y agoNot a hot take at all. We don't need 100% IPv6 adoption because we can't control what people do in their private networks. If a load balancer supports IPv6 that's good enough, even if the load balancer talks to the backend over IPv4.
