How to force rapid ipv6 adoption

I can't tell if this question is serious. It's either making fun of the
embarrassingly inadequate job we have done on this transition out it's
naive and ignorant in a genius way.

Read the asn32 migration docs for one that migrations like this can be
properly done.

This was harder but not impossible. We just chose badly for decades and now
we have NAT *and* a dumb migration.

Oh well.
