Each to their own, I like it, it's now part of my vocab. I don't really understand the programming problems much, but I've had functional preference for ipv4 since I first compared them. The fact programmers don't like it, tops it off.

That would be whoever doesn't support ipv4 nothing to do with ipv6, of course unfortunately that might change someday but doesn't necessarily have to. My ISP doesn't provide IPv6 and untill they ALL do, you must support ipv4 and I'd hope forever or untill ipv5 or ipv7 though ipv5/7 is dreaming, as you've pointed out quite well.

If someone wants to permanently pay the bills for us to get PI IPv6 space, we might hook it up.

2011/6/4 Zamri Besar : >> nslookup -type= www.openbsd.org 8.8.8.8 > Non-authoritative answer: > *** Can't find www.openbsd.org: No answer I remember having similar discussion here with Theo and Claudio a while ago: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.openbsd.misc/177418 The problem is, IPv6 has some dragons hidden that don't show up in a newspaper article. You need experience to see them and even the protocol itself isn't simple. In addition, some people misunderstand the creators' intents (how many times did you use *and got working* multiple address spaces in one network to provide connection redundancy, instead of PI space, which is difficult to acquire?), others make wrong assumptions (/48s where /24 was too much already, because the space is oh so big!), try to force their old IPv4 customs (/117 for hundreds of users), act irrationally (non-/64 netmask and gateway via DHCPv6 in Linux, yay!) and suddenly the real world application turns into quite a mess. Hell, some soho routers still don't work well in IPv4, what'd you expect? You're probably going to experience some of that that the IPv6 day after tomorrow. However, I don't believe we're in a point where anyone can go back. Even if Theo, Henning and Claudio sat for a month and came up with something everyone would like, I have never met a manager willing to throw away millions of Cisco's "development" dollars. I have met very few network admins willing to learn yet another "solution". And I don't believe Microsoft is going to give Class E addresses in old Windows some welly, either. Nor anyone volunteerly giving up their 20 years old precious /16. Welcome to the human race. As a result, you're either in or out. Either you're making a living, and not-supporting IPv6 means deliberately disserving your customers (sorry everyone, but ordinary people don't give a damn about your opinion), or you're a non-profit organization, such as OpenBSD, and you can rebel against it by not using it. -- Martin Pelikan

The only real problem I see is where a site advertises v6 addresses but the connectivity is broken - that is a real problem today, especially with such large and important networks as Cogent and Hurricane Electric having no connectivity between each other (google will find you lots more information about this). If you have a network without even natted IPv4 connectivity (though I don't understand why anyone would want that and I'd consider it broken), the following website mirrors have working records. http://openbsd.comstyle.com/ http://www.openbsd.dk/ http://www.jp.openbsd.org/ http://www.obsd.si/ http://openbsd.fries.net/

Plenty of people who drink a lot in OpenBSD. They even need an extra 2 As to prove it.
