The real problem is that many people still believe the old "IPv6 
hype"... that IPv6 would bring us automatic address configuration 
(solved even more completely by DHCP for IPv4), security (through IPSEC, 
which works just as well in IPv4), multicast (which won't be happening 
in IPv6 either, for most of the same reasons), etc.

Everything that was important enough to get done before IPv6 was fully 
deployed has already happened, and everything that wasn't, won't. 
Nothing magic is coming.

Not even flow labels... which don't really help for the same reason that 
core routers can't do flow caching for IPv4.
