the :1 is short for :0001 basically and then just put that bit of the address at the very end and put the first bit of the address at the front, and then just fill each missing group inbetween with 0000

Yes, in fact "just". This isn't remotely hard.

These types of complaints are how I know the objection to v6 is not serious.

Well, okay, show us how to follow those instructions then.

"the :1 is short for :0001 basically" is easy enough: you get 2001::0001::0001.

Then "just put that bit at the very end" -- but which bit? If it means the ":0001", then there's two of them and they can't both go at the very end. If not, then it fails to specify which bit. Either way I don't see how these instructions are followable at all, let alone easily.
