because people are using containers to reflect the real life out there?
that means IPv4 for a very very long time
that means *dual stack* for a very very long time

how do you imagine building up a comlex network structure within
containers for simulations and after figure out things take
them for production and only replace the network segments?

if someone starts with "something new" followed by "prohibit"
things which are just in use and working he only can be wrong
