It's hard to see v6-only networks as a viable, general-purpose

people keep fixating on that as an end goal. The future we ought to be
working towards is a consistent, reliable, dual-stack
environment. There's no point worrying about v6-only operations if we
can't get dual-stack working reliably.

facile but fallacious fanboyism

 o if ipv6 can not operate as the only protocol, and we will be out
   of ipv4 space and have to deploy 6-only networks, it damned well
   better be able to stand on its own.

 o if ipv6 can not stand on its own, then dual-stack is a joke that
   will be very un-funny very shortly, as one partner in the marriage
   is a dummy.

Well said. V6 needs to stand on its own.
