In five years we should be just about ready to start deprecating IPv4, if not already beginning to do so.


That's been said about so many things, from various legacy OSes to other protocols such as SNA and SMB/CIFS.  

None of those things are as prevalent as IPv4 is today.  And yet, they're still around to haunt us.

I said beginning to turn it off, not done with it.

I think we're going to be dealing with IPv4 for a long, long time - far longer than two years.

Oh, I agree. However, I think in 5 years we'll start seeing a few residential providers announcing
things like IPv4 is now a $20/month optional service.
