IPv6 is about 15 years old. In technology terms that's ancient. IPv6 is roughly as old as AJAX, it's much, much older than Ruby on Rails. And IPv6 solves a major, catastrophic problem with IPv4. The fact that it still is seeing only very slow uptake in adoption is a testament to its weakness, I'd say, even if it has some otherwise favorable aspects.
