No. I think we're in violent agreement.

It's a tired old rant, but I still wish we had thought much harder
about making transition all the way to IPv6 a non-problem for our
customer base at the time. The rise of eager ipv4 buyers on this list
and other places is a constant nag that we could have done better.

On the bright side, lots of consulting fees so who am I to complain?
