Since the poll is a straight yes/no option with no preference, I will express my preference here. While I find the term quibble fun and amusing, I think hextet is a far more useful term because it does not have the overloaded human semantics that come with quibble. I'm sorry to quibble with the majority here, but, in this case, I think we have enough problems with ambiguous terminology in networking and this opportunity to avoid creating one more should not be missed.

Hi all, as most of you are aware, there is no definite, canonical name for the two bytes of IPv6 addresses between colons. This forces people to use a description like I just did instead of a single, specific term. Being highly pedantic Germans, this annoyed quite a few people within the DENOG community. This, in turn, lead to an I-D[1]. If any of you have any additional suggestions, you are more than welcome to share them. Additionally, I want to invite everyone to participate in an informal poll which we created[2]. We're fully aware that it's trivial to cheat on this poll; that's life. As of right now, Quibble leads with Hextet being a close second. All other options got significantly less votes.
