25 years to not achieve global domination opens the door to become 
obsoleted before it does. Pretty sure that would be more bad than good.

Some weight to lend to your theory would be if Africa and Asia IPv6 
numbers are outpacing everywhere else. Google numbers suggest that is 
not at all the case, with the notable exception of Saudia Arabia and 
India and even Gabon.

Perhaps you have better or different numbers. We could use some good news.

The "side" thing is the problem here. The objective is a stable and 
maximally usable internet, both now and in the future.
