It is a mistake to believe that the only reason to add IPv6 to your network is size. Adding IPv6 to your network _now_ is the right decision because at some point in the not-too-distant future it will be the dominant network technology, and you don't want to get left behind.
not wanting to rain on anyone's parade, but people have been claiming this since the days of IPng. Granted, we're a couple of years after IANA runout and two RIRs are also in post-runout phase, but the level of pain associated with continued deployment of ipv4-only services is still nowhere near the point that ipv6 can be considered a viable alternative.
