Starting a new service and considering ? It's a good practice to go IPv6 for a number of reasons:1) IPv4 is exhausted, 2) IPv6 offers much better privacy thanks to the client address rotation, 3) IPv6 greatly simplifies P2P, 4) slightly better performance & latency

@kravietz Individual IP addresses get rotated, but still within the same subnet. A subnet can easily represent only a single person. Selling IPv6 as privacy enhancing is really stretching the truth.

I'm also not convinced it gives better performance or latency, given that everywhere I have IPv6 it's going via tunnels.

Regarding performance - well, that's why I got myself a native IPv6. In any case I don't think it's a big selling point today because currently observed IPv6 latency might be due to lower usage and saturation - nice, but still side effect.
