For those who forgot the original post, the problem that I see is:

IETF is blocking technology.

1. No one should touch the existing IPv4 Internet (except those who run it)
2. IPv6 cannot be deployed
3. IPv6 means IP research is done. This is very harmful.

IETF's role is not making design decisions for others, it is ***enabling
new technology***.
