Ah ah ah! Good luck with that. Consider that despite lots of investment,
a quarter of a century after being standardized IPv6 only carries maybe
30 to 50% of the Internet traffic. Wholesale replacement may happen if
some radical new technology comes along, maybe quantum networking if it
turns out to be practical. But failing that, the best that can happen is
a series of small updates.
