That way of thinking is exactly the reason why the transition to IPv6 is so 
far behind schedule today. Nobody felt a need to support IPv6 because nobody 
used it, nobody used it because nobody provided it, nobody provided it because 
nobody supported it, and that's largely the way it has been since then. The 
plan was that everything and everybody should have IPv6 *before* we ran out of 
IPv4 addresses. It didn't happen because everyone kept waiting for everyone 
else, so here we are now with an Internet that has been split into an IPv4-
only part and an IPv6-only part.
