  Fair enough. This approach will, however, relegate IPv6-only networks to second class citizenship status. Access to the "real" Internet will require IPv4 and IPv6-only will be seen as the inferior choice, to be avoided as best as you can. Not quite a ringing endorsement for IPv6, in other words.

  This position also assumes that there will be enough IPv4 addresses to go around for everybody to dual stack. Anybody not so fortunate will simply be left out in the cold.
