Ipv6 was a protocol engineered in isolation from the social / political environment it had to be adopted in.

A successor to ipv4 wasnt a technical issue. duh, use longer addresses. The problem was social.

It's a miracle it was used at all

What's annoying about ipv6 discussions is that the ipv6 people are incredibly condescending when the problems of its adoption were engineered by them.
