Google OnHub ships without IPv6 support

Just got my OnHub in the mail yesterday.

Boy, was I disappointed when I realized that it didn't support IPv6. :(

Supposedly it's coming: https://www.reddit.com/r/OnHub/comments/3j6tzl/onhub_disappo...

I guess consumer electronics are being developed like games now.

Routers have been like this since firmware updates were easily distributable. It's lucky there's an update at all

WTF? How can anybody ship a consumer Internet device without IPv6 support in 2015? That's ridiculous.

I mean, that would have been a bad idea years ago, since we all have a vested interest in spreading IPv6 support. But now, when even laggards like TWC support IPv6 on 90% of their residential network - and more and more Internet sites are up and running on IPv6 - shipping a device like that is just shortsighted as hell.
