This will justifiably be used to disable IPv6 in many places, which will sadly set back IPv6 adoption just that little bit more.

I'm IPv6-only on my personal infra, and it's pretty nice. End to end reachability between machines and containers, and reduced need for middle boxes like reverse proxies.

Supposedly disabling IPv6 still doesn't prevent exploitation, so lazy IT will get hacked anyway.

The article says the opposite:

> As a mitigation measure for those who can't immediately install this week's Windows security updates, Microsoft recommends disabling IPv6 to remove the attack surface.

and

> "That means it's wormable. You can disable IPv6 to prevent this exploit, but IPv6 is enabled by default on just about everything."
