The deployment problem was not due to technical issues, it was because
the Internet changed to only deploy new technology that generated
revenue in the short term. After a lot of thought, I have come to the
conclusion that it wouldn't have mattered what the IETF did, we would
still be facing the same problems. It wouldn't be seriously deployed
until IPv4 address ran out.
perhaps 'engineering' includes thinking about the costs of deployment.
perhaps backward compatibility would have reduced the costs.
