I don't see how this should stop us from fixing legitimate problems. As far as I know IPv6 adaptation is not a software problem at this point.

  You are not fixing legitimate problems if the new spec never gets adopted by anyone.

    The new spec wouldn't get adopted it if didn't offer anything better. See: IPv6

      "won't". It hasn't been adopted by even a significant portion of the internet yet, and based on these discussions I'm fearful it will turn out exactly like IPv6.

    That's not really my position to represent though. As an engineer you have to be firm if the issue is worthwhile. Just because the tech industry is a largely a vertical oligopoly doesn't mean we should support it. Technology would be a better place if the parties opposing security, robustness, privacy etc. would have to take an active stand against it rather than being able to hide behind vague design decisions. I do also think there are things that aren't worthwhile to be fighting for though.
