Re: How to force rapid ipv6 adoption

None of them does what you propose — Smooth seamless communication between
an IPv4-only host and an IPv6-only host.

i view this point/question as an assertion by owen as follows:

"it was never possible to design a smooth transition and that's why we
gave up on it."

furthermore, it's a also the following assertion:

"it was never possible to expand our address space while allowing for
an actual migration."

if you believe that, then you end up in advocacy land.  if you don't
believe that but you see lots of people who gave up on the design
process early, then you understand why we're here.

indeed.  a tragedy.
