Oh, I understand the issues just fine. It's DJB who clearly demonstrates he doesn't understand the issues. His argument derails in the second paragraph, where he appears to go by the assumption that at some point we flip a switch (he calls it "the magic moment") to go from ipv4 to ipv6. ipv6 was designed with the idea of it running alongside ipv4 and in fact all mainstream operatings systems and enterprise networking equipment are perfectly capable of this right now.
Yes, transition will be messy in the upcoming few years, but that is for the most part not because of poor design choices in ipv6. That is caused by almost everyone worldwide putting their fingers in their ears and singing lalalalalala whenever the topic is brought up (some think NAT is the solution, others say we should just force some of the holders of /8 blocks to give those up). Had everyone gotten their acts together 5 years ago, we would be visiting most websites over ipv6 by now.
