I would normally not contribute to this, but I think having been a passive participant of the IPng mail lists through the 80s-90s I like the quality of reflecting "did we get what we wanted". I'm not writing here as an RIR employee (which I am) but as somebody who was along for the ride. We didn't

Admitting to not having read every message in these threads, but would like to highlight a bit of the history. IMnsHO, the otherwise useful history is missing a few steps. 1) The IAB selected ISO CLNP as the next version of IP. 2) The IETF got angry, disbanded, replaced, and renamed IAB.

Complaining is fun and healthy. But I was unclear, not asking about v4 vs. v6, but about caring for / contributing to evolution of network protocols, or not. Some evolution has happened in the IPv6 world, more could happen, so it gets better. Or throw the baby? Keep safe; Pascal >
