Could be done, but nothing is EVER simple regarding IPv6. :) What about EUI-64? Any special cases regarding TEREDO, ORCHID2, 6to4 addressing scheme (NOT the same as NAT64!), etc...?
Nevertheless, something like this could be an option.
I have to agree. Not long ago, the biggest advantage of CouchDB for those new to NoSQL were its simplicity and "relax". Lately it really has disappeared into IBM-esque product combination offerings.
I truly hope they sort it out though, since CouchDB itself is great technology.
Fun thing: it was actually pretty hard for me to put it into this tone, since it's not really mine. :) But I wanted it to be short and rememberable. I even wanted to do an acronym like they do it in the military. Just saying :)
