I think you're missing a few things here. (subset of CPE --) - "Firewalls" and NAT (wasn't v6 supposed to stop the latter) - end-hosts (Grandma still using unpatched win98/winME isn't going to be looking at the ipv6 pr0n project anyways.. or is she ;) - DDoS Mitigation devices (where's my ipv6 capable "guard"?) the good news is there's a mostly reasonable story for most folks under the CPE, Transit, "Core" Routers (subject to a caveat matrix), Monitoring and Management. It does require some upgrades to these systems, which depending on things, could cost some money. I'd love to see google or Y! with an AAAA record. Or even Microsoft ;) It'd be cool to see the number of folks still using busted resolver software who says 'google is busted' and the rest of the world will see it continue to work without trouble. It's going to take someone like them to help shift things.
