I understand this.  However, the way that IPv6 migration is discussed in most contexts seems to be predicated upon the 
notion that there is some industry imperative to light up network with IPv6.  My point is that there is not.

IMHO if the user choose to change or not it is the least important, the real important fact is that IPv6 is taking up 
no matter if it is or not deliberate used by the users.

I disagree somewhat with this view.  The significant question is whether the users are actually accessing 
apps/services/content via IPv6, or if it's essentially white noise.
