Only bad side of IPv6, it's a lot of typing for all that. o_O
There's a worse aspect: you have to undersand what you're doing. Or you
can
just tell your firewall not to allow any IPv6 packets in or out at all.
When I said a lot of typing, I was thinking about if one has to use IPv6
to ssh into a rig. As it is here, ssh dale@10.0.0.6 is it. Now replace
that IP with a IPv6 address. I'm hoping for a copy and paste option or
tab completion would be nice. Let's not even get into the increased
odds of a typo. After all, one wrong character, no worky. :/
Given that we running out of IPv4 tho, IPv6 it is. Something had to
change. I guess IPv6 was the best long term option. Still, gonna be a
head scratcher for some of us.

If we're talking about connecting regularly to the same IP you can set it up
as an alias in your ~/.ssh/config and not have to invoke IP addresses on the
CLI at all.
In my case, given that it's publicly routable anyway I just set the AAAA
records on my DNS server for my IPv6 enabled servers.
