How about you do a "show ip bgp" and experience some pain of your own?

IPv6 was created so we could continue to have an internet when we're  
out of IPv4 addresses. We're not out of IPv4 addresses yet. How can  
IPv6 be a failure at this point?

We've managed to make a fairly big mess of IPv4 in 25 years. Yes, it  
still works but it's not pretty. IPv6 is supposed to last a lot  
longer than 25 years, so explosions of any kind are to be discouraged.
