alt Hacker Newsv6 has nearly 3 billion users. How is that abysmal?
We've never done something like the v4->v6 migration before, on this sort of scale. It's not clear what the par time for something like this is. Maybe 30 years is a normal amount of time for it to take?
HTTP->HTTPS was this kind of scale, and it was smooth because they changed as little as possible while also being very careful about default behaviors.
3 billion people sorta use ipv6, but not really, cause almost all of those also rely on ipv4 and no host can really go ipv6-only. Meanwhile, many sites are HTTPS-only.
