There is a weird persistent idea that all anyone really needed to do was "extend ipv4 addresses" and everything ipv4 related would have remained compatible.
No, it still absolutely would have completely broken everything and anything that used ipv4, all the tools would still need to be thrown out.
There is basically no way such a proposal could work and maintain any sane level of compatibility.
Its evident right on its face, how exactly would an ipv4 only tool connect to a 64 bit "ipv4.1 address" ?
