IPv4 support is required and works perfectly.

Except it doesn't work perfectly, because it has a relatively small address space. That's why ipv6 exists.

The driveway works perfectly, but it doesn't have space for all the guests if they all want to use their own vehicles.

Thankfully, we have carpooling and rideshares.
