And currently, IPv6 is what ARIN and the other RIRs are handing out.  It
is the protocol suite being added to gear.  Maybe it would be stated
better as the current suite is being added to.  Either way, v6 is the
thing that IS happening.

What is solves is not really at issue.

You assume too much in assuming that this is my thoughts on the matter.
My opinion of IPv6 matters little more than yours.  I don't like the
idea of ethanol.  It's actual usefulness in the real world of today is
actually creating a worse problem than it solves.  Having that opinion,
even IF a lot of people agree with me, isn't going to change what comes
out of nearly every pump in the states.
