It's not that the reluctant user group doesn't like IPv6, they don't like change.

My public IPv4 is something like 14.63.323.85, private is 192.168.1.2 (others are .3, .4, etc), DNS is 1.1.1.1.

My public v6 would be like 2345:0425:2CA1:2020:1100:0567:5673:23b5, private is fc00::::903A:1C1A:E802:11E4 (count them, four colons), DNS 2606:4700:4700::1111.

It's not that I don't like change, it's that I don't like changes that make things worse.

As someone who runs an ipv6-only network, I can't tell you what my prefix is off the top of my head because it's irrelevant.

Change is about more than just "how many numbers do I have to remember".

The numbers are the only change that's visible to me as a user.
