There has been a steady stream of bad proposals and some Aprils Fools jokes making fun of those.
I think the proposals themselves are not the real problem here, but rather they are a symptom of a problem. The actual problem I think is people looking for excuses to not deploy IPv6. And whenever they see an alternative proposal they see that as another excuse they can use.
I am not sure these proposals are doing any harm. The mindset of the people who endorse them can slow down IPv6 deployments without needing stupid alternative proposals.

@kasperd @tschaefer Agreed. We’ve hit 50% IPv6 deployment (if we use Google as a reference) so we’re in a good position to start using their argument against them. If trying to shore up IPv4 made sense because it was the majority protocol at the time, it’s worth finally committing to IPv6 now that it has taken the crown.
