If only it were that simple...

Not only do we get new ones, we also loose old ones. As I wrote in my yearly Fidonews article in Fidonews 38:01:

==- quote ===

When we look at the past decade we see that IPv6 in Fidonet grew
from zero to almost a hundred . Nearly 10% of the listed Fido nodes.
The growth went from exponential in the first five years to almost
lineair since 2015. Until the end of 2015, the number almost doubled
every year. In 2016 we had a mere net increase of 12 nodes. I say
"net" because in 2016, not only did we see new IPv6 nodes, we also
saw nodes disappear from the list. Some stopped supporting IPv6, some
left Fidonet altogether. This trend continued in 2017-2020. A net
increase of 13 nodes in 2017, 14 in 2018, 8 in 2019 and 7 in 2020.

Statistics on small numbers is always tricky, but we can not deny
the impression that sinds two years the rate of net increase appears
to be dropping. Had the lineair growth that started in 2015
continued, we would have reached 100 last year. As it is it will take
another year and if the rate of increase drops further it may take
even longer. Or forever...
