Nah, I WANT IPv6 to work, but the fact of the matter is, it's not. The
ISPs have no interest in supporting it, and until it is simple for
users to get static IPv6 addresses and rDNS on those addresses the
appeal of it is just not going to expand in any meaningful way.
And yes, a jump for 0.002% to 0.03% is huge, relatively. But still
insignificant when looked at in absolute terms. Where's IPv6 now?
0.04% or so. Not even half a tenth of a percent.
Can I run my mailserver on my DHCP cable with NAT and talk to the
world only through IPv6?
No? Well, then what good is it?
I'll go out on a limb and say that SMTP email will NEVER move to IPv6.
If email moves to IPv6 it will be based on something totally new.
