Let me clarify that I 100% agree with both Job and Dovid. It is indeed a terrible idea. And not everyone is even 
convinced IPv6 is the right next step. So it’s obviously wrong to push people towards where someone thinks, even if 
it’s the majority.

I just had a hunch that even then we would still not see IPv6 adoption.. So there must be many more problems that we 
overlook. I just wanted to hear what other people think on the matter.

It appears in your thought experiment, a stick is dressed up like a carrot.

I’m not a fan of deploying purely punitive strategies to promote adoption; technologies should stand on their own and 
be able to convince the potential users based on their merit, not based on penalties.
