> Something that isn't talked much about IPv6 and I believe has subtle and indirect influence on it's adoption is that it is far far far less human-readable than IPv4

What? This comes up in like 95% of ipv6 threads on HN (see also: ‘they should have just added an extra quad to v4 addresses’)

    My grand father used the dots in the address!
    My father used the dots in the address!
    I used the dots in the address!
    Henceforth every human being should use the dots in the address till heat death of the universe!

I'm certain the issue here isn't the dots.

123.123.238.217.110.100.1.1 would still have been perfectly readable.

fdd2:1228:3372:1sdf meanwhile is pretty unreadable even at IPv4 length.
