This is the opposite of reality now. Enabling IPv6 currently makes it HARDER to get reliable email delivery. For example, I need to use postfix features to disable email delivery over ipv6 to google to avoid getting “spam blocked” without recourse to get google to fix their false positives. And google is one of the very few if not only large email provider supporting v6 to begin with.

There are good reasons for purposefully disabling v6 for email, so I don’t believe the current setup is harmful. I hope the situation changes over the next few years both for v6 email in general and our options to enable v6 email.

It would also be helpful if you do not classify disagreements as “incompetence”, and that you simple state your disagreements without prefixes like categorically, absolutely, emphatically, totally, etc which not only lose their meaning if used in every message but which also seems to attempt to increase your voice of 1 opinion into something more than it is.
