It's really time to stop bitching about IPv6 being different
"simply added more bytes on the left"
Yet again I have to point out that this "simple" change would make all un-updated systems incompatible with all the new ones with bigger addresses, and therefore *all* the tricky problems of v4/v6 coexistence that we have been dealing with would have occurred just the same (dual stacks, tunnels, NAT64,...).
Also - contrary to the article, multihoming IPv6 sites without NAT is not a problem:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7157
It's really time to stop bitching about IPv6 being different and just run it, already.
