For many folks, that's easier said than done. Think about it: If everyone could just dual-stack their networks, they might as well single-stack them on IPv4 instead; there would be no point whatsoever in transitioning to IPv6 for anyone.
I re-read this 3 or 4 times, and it still doesn't make any sense.I dual-stacked our backbone here at $dayjob 3+ years ago, and it really wasn't painful at all. Sure, there were were some transition pains, but they've been more at the edge (firewalls, wireless, managing users, etc), but getting the backbone to handle both v4 and v6 was the easy part.
Granted, this process can be more or less painful in different environments, but definitely no reason to stick your head in the sand and pretend that IPv6 doesn't exist, especially in 2015.
