"Apple has excellent IPv6 support on their devices, fully supporting automatic configuration of 464XLAT on devices with NAT64, and overall an excellent attitude to forcing IPv6 support from developers"

Other operating systems are bit of hit or miss"

My iPhone works, what's wrong with the rest of you for not doing this??!!

But in all seriousness, I think this will be a security nightmare for quite a while if there is some forced conversion to ipv6. I realize IPv6 wasn't created yesterday, but I assume it's got plenty of security holes waiting to be discovered until I see otherwise. The only way you are going to see it be used by end-users is if the various *nix distros roll out IPv4-less images. Same for Windows/etc. Otherwise you are begging for a security nightmare of epic proportions with software that is accidentally using the wrong stack by default, firewalls not filtering anything as expected, etc.

And who thinks it's a good idea to make all the things globally accessible? It's an internet of shit out there already, this would make it even worse.
