This is one of the reasons I do not support IPv6 anywhere. It would take a lot more work to support two types of network requests.

I hope I can ignore it up to the point where I can make a complete switch, use only IPv6 and stop supporting IPv4 everywhere.

I wouldn't be surprised if that point never comes and I can be a happy "IPv4 only infrastructure" person forever.

Or IPv7 comes out before running an IPv4-only infrastructure becomes a problem.

I think the mistake of IPv6 was to not be a superset of IPv4.
