> what problem is it that IPv6 is actually supposed to solve?

that's an easy one.  in 1993-5, the press was screaming that we were
about to run out of ip space.  a half-assed design was released.  the
press stopped screaming.  victory was declared, everyone went home.

and, as usual, ops and engineering get to clean up the disaster.
