Context:

People have been asking for IPv6 Support on GitHub since years (probably a decade by now)

... and someone even got so annoyed that they decided to setup a dedicated website for checking this: https://isgithubipv6.live/

IPv4 isn’t depreciated, it’s exhausted.

exhaustion probably also constitutes as "deprecated" once the utility of a system designed to be, well, useful no longer meets the usefulness quotient that it previously provided. Suddenly It's "deprecated technology"

IPv4 should be deprecated, but it's not

genuine question, any reason not to just actually deprecate it then? Like just stop producing hardware that routes IPV4. Chances are there's enough that'll already do IPV4 it won't be a problem, and im sure if you really needed to, you could figure something out.
