IPv6 is deployed?  There is a routine thread here a couple of times a year
complaining about how it isn't.

I see no need for this IPv8. IPv6 was carefully engineered over many years
and while not perfect, works and is deployed. What problem are you trying
to solve? I seem to have missed that.

No one is going to adopt IPv8. This is an academic discussion at best.

This is very funny!

- In 2004, very talented Chinese developers worked to implement IPv9. At
present there are exclusive patents, but have yet to seen any code.

- Over 20 cumulative years, there are about 0.5–2 trillion IPv6 address
instances, with the high side is driven by mobile devices, Wi-Fi roaming,
privacy-address rotation, VMs, containers, VPNs, and tunnels. In short,
this covers the ocean floor, caves, areas near Earth, and deep space.
Will
you and your team pay for the IPv4/IPv6 change? When will you submit the
patent applications (Similary to Microsoft patent for SEND/CGA)?

Have fun.

Only works when the recipient is actually open to receiving feedback
and
collaborating.

Reading Mr. Thain's replies here and on int-area answers that question
quite rapidly.

Stop supporting this LLM psychosis.
