everyone--

IPv6 may have been born with a developmental disability, but we're not
dealing with a corpse yet.  The patient is still alive, getting better,
and with a bit of love and proper care, might yet grow up to make better
and brighter music than IPv4.

Maybe I'm being overly sentimental and using anthropomorphism
inappropriately here, but really folks-- isn't it a bit unseemly to be
arguing over how we went so "wrong" with IPv6-- and how we could do ever
so much better the *next* time we get to reinvent the Internet if we
avoid all the killing mistakes we made in bringing IPv6 up-- while there
are, today, more people than ever before taking what are perceived to be
enormous risks actually making the v4->v6 transition start to happen?
