But anyway, just consider it: a portion of the major websites go IPv6-only for 24 hours. What happens is that well, 99% of the populace can't reach them anymore, as the known ones are down, they start calling and thus overloading the helpdesks of their ISPs.
Won't happen this year or next. Too much money at stake for the web sites. Only when IPv4 is single digits or less could this be even remotely considered. Even the 0.05% hit for a day was controverial at $dayjob.
