Now currently I’m not in the workforce, but in the past from my work experience, apprenticeship and temp roles, I’ve always seen ipv4 and not ipv6!
Hell, my ISP seems to exclusively use ipv4 (unless behind nats they’re using ipv6)
Do you think a lot of people stick with the earlier iteration because they have been so familiar with it for a long time?
When you look at a ipv6, it looks menacing with a long string of letters and numbers compared to the more simpler often.
I am aware the IP bucket has gone dry and they gotta bring in a new IP cow with a even bigger bucket, but what do you think? Do you yourself or your firm use ipv4 or 6?
Yes, the dumb ones will stick to IPv4 as they are unable to learn and change.
Bit rude, Whilst I understand tech changes and evolves, some are literally the Just Works meme and don’t need to be rapidly changed.
"Rapidly“. IPv6 is 26 years old. And we are literally running out of IPv4 addresses.
Talk about dumb.
Are you going to assume the risk of this change, and pay the millions upon millions of dollars to make it happen, and for what benefit?
We have thousands of devices that simply don’t support it (because they were designed before IP6 existed. You going to pay to replace them, and the labor to replace them, and the reprogramming to replace them, and the RISK you create while doing this?
Dumb is right. Hubris is another word that comes to mind.

IPv6 is 26 years old. If you are still running devices that are connected to the internet and are older than that then you have a problem.
