One of the main (vocal) issues people seem to have with IPv6 is that the addresses are hard to remember. But having eight different three digit numbers (r.r.r.r.n.n.n.n) does not seem any easier unfortunately.

I’ll take 1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 over the bastard child of a mac address and bitlocker recovery key any day of the week.

I though the whole concept in IPv6 of remembering addresses is that you don't. That is IPv4 thinking...

And if you want the same address space as IPv6 you need to remember 16 digits. Having them written in decimal won't help you with that anyway.
