Dear Matt:

1)    "... I would *love* to see IPv4 get extended, a software patch 
applied to devices, ...   ":    Please have a look at a concise 
whitepaper below that does what you are hoping for and more. It proposes 
an overlay architecture, called EzIP, tethered from the current Internet 
proper. Each EzIP module, called RAN is supported by one IPv4 public 
address. Since the RANs appear to be private networks from the 
Internet's perspective, all equipment and operation within it can make 
use of what is possible by current IPv4 hardware and software but avoids 
any undesired ones. In particular, the only engineering effort required 
to enable this process is "*/disabling/* the program code that has been 
*/disabling /*the use of the 240/4 netblock". This applies only to the 
routers, not patching the individual IoTs (devices). I believe this is 
much simpler than you are envisioning. I will be glad to describe any 
specifics that you may come across.

2)    "...  IPv6 die a quick painless death. ...    ":    EzIP work only 
focuses on enhancing the IPv4 portion of the Internet. What happens to 
the future of the IPv6 is entirely a separate topic. Or, as a common 
expression says, let the market decide. 😉

At this point I would*love*  to see IPv4 get extended, a software patch
applied to devices, and IPv6 die a quick painless death.
