What the *(&%$ rolling out CGN. IPv6 is supported on so many things now.
What brain dead moron made that choice....

I had a run in with a web developer a few weeks ago that said "IPv4 is
enough", until pointing out that for example, Telstra mobiles default to
IPv6 and only fall back to IPv4 if they really have to.

There is really no reason to not use IPv6, with dual-stack. It's just
trying to beat a dead horse and stuff it into a small box to still be
doing Ipv4 via CGN....

So many devices now have support for both.
