If all the home CPE router vendors stopped shipping IPv4 only boxes,
not that long.  At the moment the price point for IPv6 CPE routers
is still 2-3x the IPv4 only boxes when you can find one though not
all of that difference is IPv6.  The IPv6 boxes often have multiple
radio and other extras.  This shows that CPE vendors still see IPv6
as something *extra* and not something that should be *standard*.
