Once IPv6 is sufficiently ubiquitous (rough estimate,

pay the increased cost of supporting IPv4.

While that is surely true, it's not on a trajectory to happen this
year. Or next year. Or the year after that. Call dual-stack an
"intermediate" solution. Treat is as "temporary" or "very temporary"
at your peril.
