your memory of the procedural details is better than mine.  you have my
sympathies.  i was focused on the technical disater that has cost us
decades.  but folk who i still consider friends were willing to throw
dren at the wall hoping it would stick so the ietf/iana was not taking
crap in the press for the looming disaster of running out of address
space.  and here we are, decades later, still having to listen to
hysteria about running out of address space; just not in the new york
times.  problem solved, eh?

we had to invent dnssec to find something that would deploy more slowly,
and with more gl!tches, than ipv6.

and have you seen what's going on in the 6man wg?!?!
