I've been saying this too. Don't tell me that going from 8.8.8.8 to whatever::the::heck:::: is an upgrade.
First step of dual-stack networks should've been, every device's IPv6 address is the same as the IPv4 address, just padded. And represented textually the same. A little hacky but addresses both technical and marketing problems. You could even use a v4 DHCP server and DNS but speak IPv6.
