Native IPv6 internet access has never been a requirement for developing IPv6 aware applications. That was a bad excuse even 10 years ago. Today it is just ridiculous.
I certainly never said that was the case. I built v6 test networks, and helped kernel devs build v6 support into firewall appliances 10 years ago. But it wasn't a feature that drove sales...
My argument is that a) typical developers don't develop microcode, kernel drivers, or protocols. But they DO build a lot of applications that sit on top of them. They build them because someone is paying them to do it. The folks that sign the checks ask for A B and C. And v6 isn't one of those things yet.
Some day, maybe it will be. We're just not there yet. (yes. when we get there it's going to be too late. no argument.)in the meantime there's still a ton of new and old stuff to build w/o v6 support from our internal or external vendors.
