Can you? You need to offer IPv4 anyhow and all the complexities
related to that, i.e. some stateful box. Why would I offer in addition
to that IPv6, which is not being requested by anyone. And by anyone I
mean anyone I want as customer, as those who request it, are probably
going to be expensive to support and I need to subsidise those with my
regular customers, so I'd rather not cater to those.
