When you deploy to 10,000 desktops, fringe cases tend to pop up. So
we are exceedingly conservative.
In the IT environments I work we attempt to minimize costs. This is
the best way to ensure the Mac has a competitive advantage in those
environments. We do that by minimizing unknowns. As I've
illustrated, and as André has illustrated, there are unknowns
associated with IPv6 deployment.
I wonder if we ever will get to a point where there will not be
unknowns,
or at least things to learn for IT staff, with ipv6, or anything else
for that matter.
André's question indicated an interest for deploying v6, or at least
trying it out, but also a lot of doubt. In my experience, that doubt is
not really called for anymore, and that is what I wanted to tell.
(But, of course, YMMV.)
Again, many people successfully use ipv6 because they need to
(because of the
small the v4 address space), a lot of stuff does without the user
knowing,
and many new things come with ipv6 enabled, and they are still on the
market.
I don't think it deserves to be compared to the Y2K problem in any other
sense than that many people have taken the measurements that they
should,
and things in general just work.
Maybe your turning it off is why you fell that it doesn't work?
It does, just use it and hope to forget about it.
That doesn't make much sense.
What I mean is that those things that don't tend to bring you problems
you normally leave alone, not the least for not entering the world of
unknowns because of non standard setup. I believe you can do that with
ipv6 too. We enable (or rather, don't disable) ipv6 on all new
machines we
deploy of all OS kinds we use, and have very little problem with it.
You have had problem(s) (with AuthAuthority), and I fully understand
that you therefore have decided to turn it off when you don't have any
explicit need for it.

If Macs are too much trouble, there won't be a future for these
customers.
Reporting bugs (which I do a lot of) helps to ensure that this
doesn't occur in the future.
Very good, keep it up!
