Possibly not, but that is not where its main usage areas are. The
systems talking RTMP to each other are usually not connected to the
larger internet, but it is used as an internal contribution protocol on
intranets.

 From my experience, IPv6 is not very much used in the kind of internal
networks where this would be used anyway, so that is not really a
problem.

In most of the cases I have seen it used, crypto has not been used at
all (to be frank, I'm not 100% sure whether the product I work on
supports encrypted RTMP at all, I have at least never seen it in use).
