That's the dumbest and sadly most oftenly heared sentence in this context.

I had hoped that there were some IPv6 only/broken IPv4 services around
today that would show people that's not the way to go, but I don't
know any. Does anyone have a good example here?

Even in the educational sector where I work, where we have enough[tm]
money for hardware and tutorials there's no interest in a useful deployment.
Activating v6 in the 5k+ users wifi is delayed (again) for next year, because
it's neither important or urgent. That's the point where I gave up

What I absolutely fail to grasp is why people don't want to deploy
this v6 stuff while they have a chance to do it without user/customer/
peer pressure but want to wait until the pressure gets too high.
Don't anyone talk about diamonds now..

*sigh*

Where's that drain cleaner?
