But we have a system in place which allows non-technical people to ignore IP addresses entirely. Up to this point the ease of remembering IPv4 addresses has allowed their use to leak out in to the user community. It is quite common today for users to ssh to servers by IP address in many organisations. I consider this an historical accident.
It's also not that difficult to remember.. your prefix never changes so that's the first 48-64 bits taken care of. The rest you can make human readable if you want - I know people that use <prefix>::53 for their nameserver, <prefix>::80 for their webserver, etc. It's all about how you use it. Personally I use DNS.. that's what it's for.
