I believe that using a gateway or a translation device for ipv6-ipv4
just gives people an excuse to ignore ipv6. I really do believe that if
ipv6 is to go full scale we have to jump in with everything ipv6 only or
ipv4 the intermediate will just postpone the inevitable.

Take that from experience, give the suits an out and they will take it
rather than taking the advised path which may cost more now but less
down the road when you have to pry it out of people to abandon the
translation servers.
