taking the long view - your statement applies equally to IPv6.
IPv6 has many places to go in the future. Of course the future is long, and there will be a point when IPv6 is no longer what's needed. But we're nowhere close to that point now.
I disagree. I think there is little, if any, innovation that will continue to be put into IPv4 hence forth. I think there will be much innovation in IPv6 in the coming years.
I'm afraid it may be the other way around: lots of IPv4 innovation just so IPv6 can be avoided a few more years.
