The one thing you can't do with IPv6 is yell the address across the room to the technician plugged into the switch trying to ping the node.

no instead you yell the IP address and they spend 30min trying to debug why they can’t ping it or even get ICMP packets through and then you realise you yelled the private IP address and they were on the wrong side of the NAT
