Yes, and IPv6 is an evolutionary dead-end, and is about as useful
as polyploidy is to a happily diploid organism whose growth is
constrained by its external surface area.

What is out-evolving IPv6?  NAT, probably eventually leaning towards CATNIP.
Hint: lots of change is happening in that space too, and you don't have to
quadruple the amount of genes your poor transcriptase-like proteins have 
to deal with.
