Tony, your version is more diplomatic, and quite correct, but the bottom
line is exactly the pithy, blunt version I gave.

It's really unfortunate that we still have an architecture where these are
the only two choices to respond to the situation you have portrayed, with
lock-in (which I agree is not acceptable). However....

Yes, unfortunately - see previous two comments.

It's unfortunate that only now are solutions to the Hobson's choice
portrayed in the first two comments being seriously explored. Alas, it
looks like the solution will involve a major kludge, in order to provide
the second namespace that wasn't there (and should have been, all along).
In other words, IPv6 is already obsolete, before it's even deployed.
