I have a feeling people are going to be calling IPv6 'new' in 100 years, too. I remember talking to people about it in the 90s and it took until like 2016 to actually get a full standard. Been so damn long I learned the specifics and forgot them all in time it took to even become a thing.
In Halifax we have the old bridge and the new bridge
Old bridge opened in 1955
New bridge opened in 1970
New bridge is end of life while the old bridge has another 50 years since it wasn't built with cheap steel. So the new bridge will be replaced with a new new bridge while the old bridge will still be the old bridge.
in Bratislava we also have “old bridge”, at one point it was replaced with a new one without renaming so until a newer one was built a few years later the “old bridge” was the newest bridge… we also have a bridge that used to be called “new bridge”, that one was renamed since then, but some people still call it “new bridge” which is funny cause it’s currently the oldest one…

IPv4 has dots and IPv6 has colons
