my 2c worth:

v4 and v6 will co-exist for a while, whether we like it or not, and
therefore v4 and v6 stuff will need a way to get to each other depending
on the service at hand.

So quite frankly, I don't see the real advantage of moving 'content'
over to v6 any more than moving 'users'.

I believe every operator/network/service/whatever has to make the effort
to deploy and connect to the v6 world in their interest.

NAT has been here for a while, and I don't view it as v6 failure.
