No less a person than the IPv6 'architect' himself stated that IPv6 and
IPv4 were architecturally identical, that IPv4 got it all basically right,
and that IPv6 was nothing more than IPv4 with a little cleaned up

I'm sure it started out that way.  It didn't end up that way.  A few
changes here and there had rather significant (perhaps unintended) effects.
