One would think that in 30 years there will be some sort of best practises established. Some articles to refer people to. Or at least some people to share their experience and answer practical questions.

IPv6 existence is questioned not because people fail to configure it. It’s because they do not understand the problems it solves. Those problems are so large they’re invisible at the individual human scale. You either know them (which is not a secret) or invent superficial charges against the design.


No. People fail to configure it. Then start to question why this piece of garbage exist.

It doesn't matter what problems it supposed to solve if it doesn't work.


Here's a counter: people don't need to configure it. They just need to connect to the network and the network is smart enough that it's essentially plug and play.

My have certain shortcomings: it doesn't assign dns names to hosts and doesn't configure firewall rules
