Depends on who you are.

Do net admins who dread troubleshooting real networks with 
unrecognizable and unmemorizable addresses exist?

Actually, I find IPv6 addresses much more memorizable as you can
give your addressing plan hierarchical structure and don't get
about arbitrary numbers like in v4 CIDR where you don't even see
where a subnet starts and ends.

Daniel
