IPv6 woes - RFC

Side question on this thread…

Is it everyones current expectation that if a provider were to switch to IPv6 and drop IPv4 that the customers would all be just fine with that? I believe that there are several applications used by some of the the loudest customers (typically gamers and network gurus), not to mention some business applications that would break or be sub-optimal at best. I see CGN as the band aid to this issue, not the cure to the problem.

Discuss…?
