Sorry to plug on a subject ;) but I wold like to respond to this (veiled insult...) with some credentials. I work for an IT security firm - we deploy large networks to companies globally. We also work with ISP's on various tasks. I am a qualified Electronics Engineer (and probably know about network protocols and the IPV6 stack than you imagine) and experienced (ish) programmer. I admit that my knowledge of the higher level of networking (like actually building one) is a little lapse (improving) but my technical knowledge is very good :) The WP article has barely any information on it (and certainly no links to decent critiques of IPV6). Wikipedia is fair useless for networking stuff :( We work with companies on network projects in the $millions scale. They will tell you IPV6 is too costly (especially in the current climate) and not fit for purpose. They are alreayd pushing for IPV8 (and we have been informed by one multinational they will not even consider "upgrading" to a new tech until both IPV8 fixes IPV6 AND it all becomes backward compatible). That last point is crucial. It is why IPV6 will only ever be deployed in brand spanking new networks.... (read: very few :)).
