So... I don't really see any of the above arguments for v6 in a vm
setup to really hold water in the short term at least.  I think for
sure you'll want v6 for public services 'soon' (arguably like 10 yrs
ago so you'd get practice and operational experience and ...) but for
the rest sure it's 'nice', and 'cute', but really not required for
operations (unless you have v6 only customers)

Everyone has effectively IPv6-only customers today.  IPv6 native +
CGN only works for services.  Similarly DS-Lite and 464XLAT.

ok, and for the example of 'put my service in the cloud' ... the
service is still accessible over ipv4 right?

Agreed. Here is some data.

It's worth noting that the Samsung Galaxy S6 launched with IPv6 on by
default at AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile.

And the majority of the T-Mobile at Verizon customer base is on IPv6, so
IPv4 is the minority right now in mobile. Oh, and when i say ipv4 is the
minority i mean NAT44.

Proper public ipv4 is not even on the mobile radar, but ipv6 is

but.. http/s to an ipv4 address works, so...
