Yeah, it's quite unfortunate that IPv4 ran out so suddenly, barely 15 years after people were told to move towards IPv6. ---------------------------------------
Especially after IETF made it backwards compatible and made it so easy to switch from 4 to 6... ;-)

There's no way to make "something with longer addresses" compatible without IPv4 without changing everything (routers, endpoints) - so, that argument is usually one brought forward as one of a long list of standard excuses to avoid deploying IPv6, while at the same time blaming everyone else for the problems with IPv4.
