Is it ready, absolutely.  Is it pretty, not quite.  But that's ok,
it will take some time in the real world to get the spit polish
IPv4 has had 25+ years to earn.

The issue is not is IPv6 ready, it's how do you interoperate between
the IPv6 world and the IPv4 world.  Dual stack was/is the answer,
but with IPv4 running out it won't be for much longer.  Is the answer a
transition mechanism or cold turkey?  It probably depends on your
situation.
