two graphs:

These two graphs tell me that by the reasoning you are providing about DNSSEC 
(“glacially slow” adoption) IPv6 is a complete and total waste of our 
collective time.

Today we see some 1 in 6 users using DNS resolvers that will perform DNSSEC 
validation in signed responses. 1 in 6. Thats some half a billion users will 
validate DNSSEC signed responses - AND WILL NOT GO TO A BADLY SIGNED NAME.

By comparison, how’s V6? 1 in 20 users will use IPv6. 

I find it impossible to reconcile the mood of doom and depression surrounding 
DNSSEC I read from this post and others in a similar vein, while at the same 
time observing the sunny, and by this metric completely insane, optimism of the 
IPv6 proponents. 

Sometimes the lies we tell ourselves just get in the way. This is one such 
case.
