Well, but those "established ways of doing things" may also happen to be exactly why we could deploy IPv4 in the first place, and their absense have provably hampered IPv6 deployment.
Yes, of course we can stay on IPv4 with NAT and double-NAT and dynamic IPs for customers and whatever kludges are necessary... Changing over to IPv6 *is* painful.
