Not sure if I understand where this conversation is headed, but anyhow:
IPv6 deployment, as of now (as well as long ago, like 2-3 years already),
is entirely dependant on the network middleware, which is switches,
firewalls, and whatever middleboxes (and their configuration, which
sometimes gets inherited from the previous generation of devices).

Endpoints are not an issue.  These are, mostly, new.  Out of the rest of
these (already a minority), most of them are software-updated.  I know an
ISP who switched one day to IPv6 only and only got a thousand support
requests for what should be believed to be a hundred thousand customers
database.  And they just resolved all of that in a week.
