Which sounds quite positive to me, given the alternative is "run dual-stack everywhere, forever, because someone out there might still be IPv4-only"... Carriers can't "just turn off IPv4" if users still connect to IPv4-only sites... so what is worse, NAT44/CGN and dual-stack all the way to the client, or nice and shiny IPv6-only at the edges, and NAT64 for talking to the old Internet?
