"Lets make IPv6 easier for people learn and adopt by making its addressing
as complex as IPv4's", said no one ever.

IPv6's addressing should be as simple as will do the job.

An example of how simple IPv6 addressing should aim to be is RFC760's IPv4
addressing format. As somebody who has taught IPv4 Classes, Subnet Masks
and VLSM, and of course used all of them, RFC760 is my favourite version of
IPv4.

There's a lot of people who seem to really like IPv4's footguns just
because they're used to them.
