    That's how "hard" it is to transition.

    I didn't care if the bird flew or not. My job was to fly. No airplane, no fly.

    That's they way consumers will be. If the shit don't work, then they will buy stuff from someone who has stuff that works.

    I'm not in the demographic who gives a shit about IPv6 for any of the reasons you mention and neither is anyone else I know.

    Things are working fine right now.

    When things don't work fine, just fix that shit and move on.

    I was a pilot and I cared not one whit about the mechanics or avionics people's personal problems. I just told them "When the bird is 'go,' let me know."

    Not true. I'm not arguing for or against. I'm saying we will fully embrace IPv6 when it's necessary. When the world can't watch YouTube or play Candy Crush Saga, then change will happen.
