It means it's IPv6 which is damaging the Internet.

A revised IPv6 and transport which can properly handle multiple
addresses can happily coexist with IPv4.

However, as IPv6 is totally broken, it is better to start with
a clean slate than to revise it. Or, more practically, just stick
to IPv4.

IPv4 with revised transport is far better than the current IPv6
and transport.

which is partly why IPv6 is broken and harmful. Proper support
of multihoming can be done only at the transport layer and above.
