Why?
The IETF chose to create a new protocol instead of extending the old
protocol. Even the way you ask for names is different (A vs. AAAA).
Why should anyone assume a one-to-one mapping between the two
Internets based on those protocols?
they should not notice it.
They shouldn't, but they will. Having had the fun of trying to
figure out why I lost connectivity to a site (then realizing it was
because I had connected via IPv6 instead of IPv4 and IPv6 routing ...
changed), the current IPv6 infrastructure is, shall we say, not quite
production ready.
And if there are issues (my experience is not that one), we need to
know
them ASAP. Any transition means some pain, but as sooner as we
start, sooner
we can sort it out, if required.
Forcing end users to be exposed to the pain of transition? This is
the techno-geek mindset, not the critical communications
infrastructure-geek mindset. Guess which one is more appropriate to
the Internet today?
