Interesting. What about ipv6 don't you like, and why would a 64-bit scheme remedy it?

>IPv6 would only promote incautious distribution which would again result in address space exhaustion

There are more ipv6 addresses than there are atoms in the earth. Exhaustion won't be a concern for generations.
