It is interesting to see that almost nobody is interested in ipv6.
In my opinion it is something that has to happen in the coming years.
It's still a big question how fast the transition is going to be and
more importantly how fast the internal networks of companies are going to
change.
Adrien was brave and just did it, but most startups won't even think about
it
(just use 10.x.x.x).
Good reasons to do it:
- it has to be done anyway
- it might not become easier to do it
- it could be a "unique open-source/selling point"
But it still needs ipv4 support for many many years.
BTW: I always look at ipv4 vs ipv6 as something like analog vs digital
phones.
The new stuff does not bring an awful lot more, but in the end everybody
will slowly move to it
(but there are still a lot of analog phones--but not that many in the
enterprise world).
More importantly, the end user does not see the big difference, but under
the hood the
technology is completely incompatible, you need gateways to get from one
to the other
(but when these gateways do the job end-users are happy).
