#2Citation "IPv6 was designed to restore the end-to-end model of communications with all nodes on networks using globally unique addresses. But considering this, IPv6 may imply privacy concerns due to greater visibility on the Internet."

#3All we need is ONE major website to declare 24 Hour brown-out for IPv4 and put a message something like "Contact your ISP to upgrade your connection".
Alas, publicly traded companies....

It used to be interesting to see the news about new ipv6 deployments, adoption ratings etc. Now I basically don't care.

The IETF has never gotten off its anti-NAT high horse.

I've been using IPv6 at home and at work for years now - without noticing it much.

You're not supposed to care about it. IPv6 really has two motivating factors: the first is to simplify the IP stack, the second is to increase the scale of the address space. It's not supposed to be exciting, it's supposed to be a change we make because it obviously makes sense to do.
I also don't think IPv6 is a "failed technology" at all. If you've used almost any zeroconf service on an Apple product recently (AirPlay, AirDrop, AirPrint, HomeKit, so on) then you've been almost certainly using link-local IPv6. If you've used Spotify Connect or Sonos, there's a very good chance that's been over link-local IPv6. If you have any Thread or Matter smart home appliances, they generally communicate using IPv6 too. Most devices connect to Chromecasts over link-local IPv6. You've quite likely been connected to IPv6-capable Wi-Fi networks before and you probably never noticed. IPv6 is actually pervasive in all sorts of places.

I mean it's literally not a failed technology.
1. It works 2. The internet today would not function without it 3. There are several IPv6 only deployments (primarily mobile carriers)
It being "interesting" has nothing to do with it being successful. I'm not interested in any new 120v electrical deployments or any new 4g LTE deployments but both of those technologies are very successful.

IPv6 is a successful deployed technology. Its failure is that IPv4 is still widespread/dominant.

GitHub not being available via IPv6 is the biggest hurdle because so much depends on it.
