you're implying that they could not have done better.
I think they "shipped it" and washed their hands of it.
But I think there should have been more iterations, until we got a little more ipv4+ and less ipv6.
They shipped it because it was done.
Everything since has been round after round of RFCs trying to adapt IPv4 workarounds to the IPv6 world.
