Go to any business with hardware that is 3-5 years old in its IT infrastructure and devices ranging from PCs running XP to the random consumer gear people bring in (cameras, printers, tablets, etc.) and see how easy it is to get everything talking on an IPv6-only (no IPv4 at all) network... including using IPv6 to do automatic updates and all the other pieces that need to work. We're nowhere near ready for that. None of which is the fault of the protocol. Blame the equipement vendors for being negligent.

I could blame the people doing IT in those environments too, but that doesn't make it so that nobody needs IPv4 addresses to deploy servers to keep talking to these folks. Matthew Kaufman
