IPv6 Traffic Crosses the 50% Mark for the First Time

It also just takes actual policy will. Somebody has to actually say "No" when the supplier who promised an IPv6 product says afterwards actually they meant IPv6 "ready" and they should have put an asterisk because really only the next version will be "ready", and er, so the product they've delivered doesn't actually work with IPv6 but that's fine right?

"No". Not every human is psychologically prepared to do that. They want to acquiesce, to go along to get along, you need somebody to be firm. "No".

I have found that it is incredibly satisfying to whip out the “no” card.

I have also found that an uncomfortable number of people do not consider it appropriate in any way shape or form. Even when it’s ultimately your call and no one else’s.

Folks don’t really like waves. They like looking at them from the shore, but freak out when it’s their turn to hang 10

Just wait until someone starts remembering the other archaic terms like ‘fraud’, ‘indictment’, etc.

Suppliers doing that kind of trick is what really killed GOSIP, and why the new v6 mandates in USGOV do not allow waivers for vendors, only for individual specific use cases
