> That would be really easy to block -- if we were on IPv6.

Make that: If the service being attacked was on IPv6-only, and the attacker had no way to fall back to IPv4.

As long as we are dual-stack and IPv6 is optional, no attacker is going to be stupid enough to select the stack which has the highest probability of being defeated. Don't be naive.
