I would have thought opposite.
It is sometimes helpful to draw lessons from nature and other systems :)
People who have been on this list longer would probably remember when I was playing in this sandbox.
The real wisdom about networks is "never try to change everything and everywhere at once". You either do gradual migration, or you end up in a big pile of poo. Which what IPv6 transition situation is.

I too apply the same "real wisdom" and view IPv6 transition as a gradual migration and we are seeing a lot of success already with this approach, its just that the adoption numbers are slower than we would like. I get a sense that our 5+ year IPv6 discussions have people worried and panicked that the best thing is to leave things as they are <insert NAT solutions> which makes me think we should perhaps spend less time on the advocacy part of IPv6 solution and put our efforts on what we get out of implementation.
