Yes! I wish every project reserved funding towards writing up failure so eloquently. I had tried, in Nicaragua, in 206-2008 to get IPv6 deployed (tunneling ipv4 over it), and had meant to write up that set of problems. I was planning to publish the "WISP6" postmortem in the the 2010 timeframe but got sucked into just working on bloat. I had been going instinctively on that enormous list of problems since, and mostly licked them (or so I thought), in cerowrt by 2014, not realizing that the wisp market had evolved in an entirely different direction. > Do you remember Solar Impulse 2 travel around the world?
