If you have that mentality, we'll never get off IPv4. If that happens, ISPs won't have a choice but to implement Carrier Grade NAT. That's bad for a lot of reasons, but mostly because many homes share the same address. Implementing IPv6 means every device in the world has a unique, globally routable address with all ports open (no NAT).

That's pretty cool. However, we can only do this if we get over the chicken-and-egg problem, which is why it's important you enable IPv6 and encourage others to do so.
