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...
