Welcome to the 21st century.  

There are ISPs in Asia today(!) that *will* *not* give you an IPv4 address,
because they have none left.

IPv6 is most relevant to real-life.  

Many of the problems we see in IPv6 deployments are caused exactly by 
this attitude - instead of *using* it and fixing the problems that are 
still left, disabling it and hoping that it won't be needed before 
personal retirement.  This won't get any of the issues fixed, and one
day you'll find yourself in need of IPv6, and the problems are still
there.
