"Second system syndrome"

IPng set out to solve one big problem: address space exhaustion.  All 
the other chrome and spoilers and extra exhausts and air inlets that 
were tacked on later by no doubt well-meaning people have contributed 
to its lack of large-scale deployment, apart from the fact that people 
apparently weren't looking (yet) for a protocol that solved just the 
problem of address space exhaustion.
