What's very important too is to get the application developers on board. Advances in the software that uses the network (and gives it its reason to exist) is a crucial factor I think. If there are technical benefits that can be achieved using IPv6 but not Legacy IP (too tired to think of some now), you may feel a difference between IPv6 and Legacy IP at some point and the latter may become outpaced. So developers need to be convinced too. And taught about it.
Tried that. There is no "killer feature" in IPv6, it's just plumbing in a different colour. And, to an application developer, dual-stack is lots of extra hassles... so unless customers are making it a hard requirement (procurement guidelines), it's much easier to just not bother and stick to IPv4-only. (IPv6-only is similar to IPv4-only, but dual-stack, happy eyeballs, logging, filtering for v4 and v6, and all that is just extra nuisance) Gert Doering -- NetMaster -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...?
