And this is - in my opinion -  just a reflection of the typical 
counter-argument coming from these IT consultants being reluctant getting their 
hands dirty with IPv6 and postulate "why should I need IPv6, everything works 
with IPv4 though".

Hi Wilhelm

Me being a network engineer in an enterprise and an IPv6 enthusiast can say, 
that it even fails within the IT.
Many IT workers, from server administrators over network consultants to 
application / solution designers still ignore IPv6 as an avoidable burden.

Every time I talk vendor for a new product, they wince when I ask for IPv6 
support - even today. And IPv6 support doesn't mean that all aspects are 
covered.
Even in the space of network vendors, you feel the difference of maturity for 
IPv6 related support compared to the IPv4 related aspects of the solution when 
you try to thoroughly set it up for IPv6.
The same goes on when going towards application space.

With these constraints it's hard to encourage our own IT folks to just roll it 
out.

Same thing I’ve also tried several weeks ago
The problem comes when trying to fix issues outside your reach.

For example: try to access Github.
Even Cisco Website. Try to login. The intermediate step of the Pingfed solution 
doing the SSO login is IPv4-only.

This is very frustrating. The biggest network vendor isn’t fully reachable via 
IPv6-only.

I like this idea.
