I've found myself becoming a snob about IPv6. I almost look down on IPv4-only networks in the same way that I won't go see a film that isn't projected on DLP unless my arm is twisted. I'm a convert, and I'm glad to see the adoption rate edging up.
However, I still scratch my head on why most major US ISPs *have* robust IPv6 peering and infrastructure and are ready to go, but they have not turned it on for their fiber/cable/DSL customers for reasons that are not clear to me.
Turning IPv6 on at the basic/core of the infrastructure is the easiest part of the job. However turning IPv6 for customers requires a lot of effort and compromises. Some of the reasons are described in: http://6lab.cz/article/deploying-ipv6-practical-problems-from-the-campus-per... and related presentation: http://6lab.cz/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/tnc2012_slides_TncPresen...
