> The main issue with IPv6 seems to be IPv6 proponents that try to kill IPv4, no one will migrate if you force them to, if you propose, we will consider.
My experience is more the opposite. I keep seeing people say things like "I don't do v6 at home because I don't need it". These people are outright telling us that they're not going to start using v6 unless we make them need it.
Note that I didn't say "migrate to" v6. They're not even willing to do the first step of that ("start using v6"), even with no pressure to do the last step ("stop using v4").
I read an anecdote from Facebook that they had huge trouble getting their developers to stop writing v4-only code. Eventually they ended up removing v4 from their developer machines, who all of a sudden were able to write v6-capable code -- and it didn't take long for them to start asking when they could drop support for v4.
People will moan and moan and moan about v6 until you make them use it, at which point they discover that it was never as bad as they imagined it being.
