Um, so what? There is lots of cruft the world over that would be better 
if it finally died. Somehow we keep on. It's just a cost of doing 
business. If mobile operators can support it with their millions or even 
billions of customers, I think everybody else can too. It's not like 
ipv4 address depletion is a static problem either -- it's only going to 
get worse as time goes on so it's what's really driving opex where v6 is 
pretty much a one-off investment in comparison i'd think.
