kerzactly!

my point is

  o weird edge (wireless etc) are agile and are or will move and will
    use weird kludges to get to the internet anyway.  at least they have
    stopped trying to be walled gardens

  o the provider core is becoming dual stack or ipv6 except for some
    recalcitrant broadband providers

  o there are some v4-only devices in home/enterprise which will have to
    depreciate.  but do not buy v4-only devices now with the plan that
    they will last more than a year or two at most.

and the job of the ietf is to make this <bleep>ing *easy*
