I would vote for a once a year internet holiday. It would bring minor mental wellbeing improvements, coerce important industries and systems to exercise redundancy pathways, provide opportunities to have such a cutover like switching to IPv6, and remind a million petty tyrant product managers that no, our goddamned fart app does not need 6 9s of reliability.

100 bucks says IPv6 would still not get implemented. We need legislation at this point. There's enough stubborn assholes in the networking infrastructure industry just refusing to do their job for it to happen by itself. They will insist they need to save a few thousand bucks and hold the whole damn world back.

> just refusing to do their job

Their job is to make traffic work on the chunk of the Internet they administer. If they can do that with IPv4, they're doing the job.

If there were things unreachable by protocols other than IPv6 that people needed, that could force the issue, but there aren't.

Interestingly, there was some controversy in middle schools whereby mischievous students would deliberately disable their device's Internet access in order to play a built-in browser game, and this was seen as undesirable, so I believe that the agreed mitigation was to disable the game entirely. :-(
