So even though you can't do a search and replace and get rid of IPv4 everywhere today, I'm pretty sure EVERYONE can add more IPv6 than they have now. > In my opinion, the concrete goal is make 51% of _resources_ (not > users) > to be reachable through IPv6 before we run out of IPv4.

I don't think it's a good use of our time to consider the possible failure of IPv6. Adoption will be slow, but the future goes on for a long time, it doesn't have to be fast, we can still get where we need to be eventually as long as we keep going in the right direction. Iljitsch
