- total numbers of hackers, cyber-terrorists and specialized digital army forces attacks SIGNIFICANTLY (x2-5 times more) INCREASING last 2-3 years (and would be more) and MOST OF THEM USING IPv4 BASED technologies and protocols.
But using IPv6 able to decreasing the numbers of attacks, vectors of attacks and eliminate vulnerabilities in infrastructure.
SUBJ

We already add IPv6 content where we can over time, but the current state of ISPs/servers (especially in the US, where the bulk of customers are located) is nowhere near a place where we can prioritize it or do IPv6 only or even deprioritize IPv4.

Absolutely agree. I know the situation in US with ISPs.
But I wrote about SEPARATE documents that would be additional to mention IPv6 options in each place in whole docs.

Better FROM USER PERSPECTIVE no to surfing on hundreds of pages of whole Docs, but reading one document with step-by-step changes/adding certain settings.
