It still suffers from a certain amount of opacity across administrative domains.
So, if an IPv6 prefix is assigned to an apartment building and

suffered.

Thank you very much to have proven IPv6 useless.

No, the problem of address correlation to end user may still exist, but the address
Is transparent. The address in log files at the apartment complex matches the address
In log files at intervening networks matches the address in log files at the victim network.

Obviously, if the apartment complex has no log files, then yes, it remains relatively useless
In your one contrived corner caseā€¦ That not being the more general and widely deployed
Case, I think that calling that proof that IPv6 is worthless proves more about your inane
Bias than anything else.

It's really quite something to see 30 year old grudges and foot stamping all because something in the distant past didn't happen in their preferred way. It's nearly impossible to even know what the preferred way actually was because, you know, grudge. I started a thread on what that might be and it was singularly uninformative about what they consider wrong. I'm going to go on a limb and say that an apartment building not logging something sinking 30 years of work and deployment is a little, um, yeah.
