IPv4 has a cost as well.  May as well just go IPv6-only from day one and
not pay the IPv4 tax at all.

The cost difference between providing IPv6 + IPv4 or just IPv4 from
day 1 should be zero.  There should be no re-tooling.  You just
select products that support both initially.  It's not like products
that support both are more expensive all other things being equal.
