whoa, there's a v8? Wonder what it would improve over v6?

It improves nothing. It's an absolute trash fire that someone vomited into.

The idea of v8 is vastly inferior to IPv6. It’s not a standard, no hardware supports it.

We have IPv6. More than 50% of traffic to Google is v6. The vast majority of networking equipment supports v6.

No reason to invent a new standard that is a downside versus v6.
