Heh.
My personal hope, anyway, is that it will motivate certain software
engineers (and companies) who decide that DNS isn't worthwhile to support
(for x y z or no reason) will never be able to remember the new addressing
schemes, and find themselves having to use DNS...and thereby adding
support to their code.
In which case, bring it on! :)
