The definition of failure flows from the definition of the objective, 
the goal, the desired outcome.

What is your understanding of those for IPv6?

My understanding of the goal of IPv6 was to replace IPv4 globally before 
address shortage caused real problems. If we agree on that, we must also 
agree that it has failed to do so, ergo, IPv6 as a global solution to 
IPv4 address shortage has been and thus far continues to be a failure. 
Now it will almost certainly eventually succeed, but that doesnt change 
that for all this time, it failed and there were real consequences that 
or may not carry on with us all for quite some time, and that there were 
real costs involved to real people.
