The 128-bit address complaint is short sited. What does it really matter if the addresses are 128-bit. It ensures we are able to use this protocol for decades. IPv4 space was used wastefully too when it was plentiful. That will correct itself when and if IPv6 addresses become constrained.

I don't really understand your complaint about link-local addresses and why its a real problem.

The whole bootstrap ipv6 adoption stuff was a mess. We can agree there.

There are plenty of shitty bugs in IPv4 handling that still get released in major platforms. Not sure why the sysctyl thing is hard. Anytime you adopt a new feature, service, or platform it requires some critical thinking.
