And, China being China (in a good way):

 > The requirements go into effect December 1, 2023.


That's in less than a *month*.



It was discussed on the https://2.5admins.com podcast (with Allen Jude 
of FreeBSD & ZFS; Jim Salter of ArsTechnica, etc.; and Joe Ressington of 
all the Linux podcasts).

Worth a listen if not a subscription.


Finally, something that may give IPv6 implementations a boost.



PS Is everyone moved over to the new list? Should I cross-post to the 
old list?
