I personally think that handling the three case:

	a) normal v4 address

	b) normal v6 address
And those two cases are more complex than coding for a single socket and internal address representation.

I'm sure a software developer can make the necessary code do his/her bidding - where it matters. My point is that for the majority of code out there, it usually doesn't really matter. 


Lamenting the past does not move us to faster adoption of IPv6.

We need an `adopt IPv6' movement... i.e. action.
Concur, and I would also add that we don't want to add unnecessary impediments to that movement.
