Hi,

You *might* have heard about upcoming IPv4 exhaustion, and IPv4 going
away in the long run.

Brain cycles are spent way better on ensuring IPv6 works on new products
and service offerings than on complaining that specific application 
niches of IPv4 usage (read: applications that do not want to use DNS
and IP agnostic socket APIs) will break.

Yes, they will.  We all know that, but they will still break one day.

Get over it.
