IPv6 celebrates its 20th birthday by reaching 10% deployment
FFS: MX records didn't take 20 years to get deployed!This is crap. After twenty years, none of the problems with IPv6[1] have resolved, and when you get an IPv6 address from some places (hotels, mostly), much of the Internet turns into a unusable ghetto.There's also zero IPv6 at BT or Virgin Media, two of the largest Internet providers in the UK. We've been hearing we'll get it "next year" for a while, and I'm frankly tired of dealing with the incompatibility.If IPv6 offered a single user-visible feature it would sell like hotcakes: Mobile IP? IPSEC? All just as optional as with IPv4. Heck, if they even nailed auto-configuration or let multicast onto the Internet at least they'd have some customers.Instead, it's sold a twenty-year clusterfuck of doomsday predictions about running out of IPv4 addresses, and the experience has been impossible to learn from because (a) it's spanning three decades now, and (b) everyone disillusioned by IPv6 can't come around without losing face.I'm tired of IPv6 patting itself on the back; This was the worst deployment ever.[1]: https://cr.yp.to/djbdns/ipv6mess.html
