we'll never need more than that!
As soon as some resource becomes available, something is developed that
uses as much of that resource as possible - this is a fact of life and is
natural progression, it's how we develop new technology. Progression in
any area is a Good Thing, I would be worried if we didn't use IPv6 to it's
full extent.
