Not really. DJB’s clearly a very, very smart person, but he missed the mark on almost all of that. The problems he described which are real have been satisfactorily solved; they weren’t intractable. The rest turned out to be non-issues.
Also, his proposed alternative solution (essentially expecting someone to change all software and hardware in the world first, and then have a flag day with zero operational experience) was completely non-workable. Well, actually the document is so vague that you could interpret his “solution” in like three additional different ways, but none of them make much sense.
Intriguing take that he "missed the mark", yet we are still utterly dependant and reliant on IPv4 30 years later since v6, the situation he essentially predicted. How much longer until IPv6 becomes the incumbent?
