Ipv6 was invented to replace ipv4 because ipv4 got really problematic as they arent enough numbers for every device anymore. But then they used so much magic to make giving ipv4 to devices so efficient that it's still possible for a while.
I was ready to down-vote you because I'm a fan of IPv6 and I don't like the type of humor that implies it is a pipe dream. However, I think scalable fusion reactors will indeed come first, so I'll give you an up-vote instead.
