I'm speaking from ignorance of course. But ipv6 has been the acknowledged next best thing for the Internet's health by everyone. Everyone gives lip service. But when actual hard steps to bring forth this common good are taken everyone breaks out the "greedy corpos" trope, the "I'm a sovereign citizen you can't take my ips from me" trope.

I'd be happy if the HackerNews typers would just end the affectations; in either direction. But this teeth-gnashing is such an incredibly garish instance of NIMBY-ism, it's unbecoming.
