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?
