Hi,
A few comments:
A few answers:
1) The draft keeps mentioning the end node "policy" but never defines
it.
3. End node policy . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

3.1. Mandatory end node rules . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

policy: “a set of ideas … of what to do in particular situations
…”
rule: “an accepted principle or instruction that states the way things
are or should be done, and tells you what you are allowed or are not
allowed to do”
What does "disable IPv4 on this link" mean?
What does
“Usage: networksetup -setv4off <networkservice>
Turn IPv4 off on <networkservice>.”
mean?
disable: “to stop something such as (part of) a machine, system, or ..
from working”
2) Unless you have a crystal ball that predicts the future, the
timeline is not useful.
IPv4 will stop being supported when support costs outweigh user
benefits, not on an arbitrary anniversary.
Well, it is obvious at this point that agreeing on how to very
gracefully getting anywhere is not working.
So the problem is not a priority or a problem at all.
If you do not have a deadline to work against, you won’t.
I give you this deadline.
Ans as we say “pick a number”; I picked dates.
For me, the costs of supporting IPv4 started 8 years ago when I went
ipv6-only to my edges.
Since shortly after that I have been paying extra to keep IPv4 alive for
the people who still haven’t moved to even DS on basic infrastructure.
So don’t blame me for you not moving.
For the past years people have been telling the world that the costs for
DS > for single stack.
3) Do we really need two flags (IPv4 Unavailable vs IPv4 GoAway) for
this purpose?
Maybe? One is for saving resources, the other is for making something
go away; if you agree on the latter the former will be obsolete in a
few years and is just another extra graceful step towards the end. If
you’d prefer to have GoAway earlier and with that not need
Unavailable, then (a) the GoAway draft gives you the opportunity, and
(b) I can move the dates earlier for -01 to save you the work for
Unavailable. Even simpler.
4) What problem is this trying to solve?
What is the future you are avoiding to accept?
All in all, pretty good April Fool Draft, thank you.
Thanks, just that it’s not.
