alt Hacker NewsThe amount of ignorance in these ipv6 posts is astounding (seems to be one every two months). It isn't hard at all, I'm just a homelabber and I have a dual-stack setup for WAN access (HE Tunnel is set up on the router since Bell [my isp] still doesn't give ipv6 address/prefixes to non-mobile users), but my OpenStack and ceph clusters are all ipv6 only, it's easy peasy. Plus subnetting is a heck of a lot less annoying that with ipv4, not that that was difficult either.

Dude.
The difficulty of setting IPv6 up at your house vs. the needs of a multi-homed, geographically diverse enterprise couldn't be more dissimilar.
I'd lay off the judgment a bit.

“it’s easy peasy” says guy who demonstrably already knows and has time to learn a bunch of shit 99.9% of people don’t have the background or inclination to.
People like you talking about IPv6 have the same vibe as someone bewildered by the fact that 99.9% of people can’t explain even the most basic equation of differential or integral calculus. That bewilderment is ignorance.
