There, I said it. The fact that it is still not fully rolled out boggles my mind! But finally having IPv6 and doing away with all that NAT crap allows for a much more open, much more P2P-based web. No longer would anyone need relay servers or the knowledge how to punch holes in their NAT. Every device is a potential server. Centralised services, even federated ones, could lose much of their significance simply because participating in e.g. a fully distributed social network would be as simple as downloading and starting an app.
Also for that to happen we're gonna need this decentralized software. I was surprised to see no mention of anything decentralized, as it's potentially quite revolutionary.
