Yeah, I truly do not understand what's causing Hacker News or Reddit to drag their feet. My guess is they've simply done the calculus and decided the number of impacted users doesn't justify the cost, and meanwhile, they already have their v4 allocation so there's no financial pressure either.
I'm starting to think the RIR's should just start charging increasing YoY maintenance fees on v4 address space for companies that haven't rolled out v6. Those companies, who already have an allocation, are really benefiting from a negative externality. Maybe it's time they start paying for the privilege.
