I usually solve this problem by designing for NAT444 and dual-stack. This solves both problems and allows for users to 
migrate as they are able/need to. If you try and force the change, you will loose users.

I really, really hate to force users to use my network edge router (I provide the ONT, though, and I provide an edge 
router that works and most users do take it), but it can be tough to ensure users have something that supports all 
the right modern features and can be configured via standard means.

It would be nice if the consumer router industry could get its collective act together and at least come up with some 
easy-ish to understand feature support table that customers can match up with their service provider's list of needs. 
 The status quo of a list of devices that work right (which is of course often staggeringly short if you're doing any 
of these modern transition mechanisms) that needs constant updating and may not be easily available is not ideal.

Heck just having a real, complete list of supported features on the model support page on their website would be an 
improvement...
