you're implying that they could not have done better.

I think they "shipped it" and washed their hands of it.

But I think there should have been more iterations, until we got a little more ipv4+ and less ipv6.

They shipped it because it was done.

Everything since has been round after round of RFCs trying to adapt IPv4 workarounds to the IPv6 world.
