I would immediately convert if someone made "It's just IPv4 but we've changed the size of the address space to either 64 or 128 bits and it works with regular IPv4 because the address format is $addr.ipv.n.arpa and IPvN systems treat that as an address but IPv4-only systems try to resolve it as a hostname and DNS providers return a special bridge address for it". I'd be excited to adopt such a protocol. There's very little downside, and then there's the obvious upside: more address space. IPv6 has a lot of terrible stuff and the upside is too much address space.

If someone does it, it will. Maybe someone *is* doing it.
