Carrier grade NAT is so much better than IPv6

Actually it was a genuine keyword, but someone gave links later anyway.
Each to their own, I like it, it's now part of my vocab. I don't really
understand the programming problems much, but I've had functional
preference for ipv4 since I first compared them. The fact programmers
don't like it, tops it off.

these sentiments are understandable (expected, even) from people who
are having to write code to support a protocol which clearly did not have
enough input from programmers at the design stage.

but it gets really boring when people parrot it all the time...

not really difficult any more, RIRs are allowing this nowadays.

No they don't give a damn about IPS, if something doesn't work then it's
someones fault. That would be whoever doesn't support ipv4 nothing to
do with ipv6, of course unfortunately that might change someday but
doesn't necessarily have to. My ISP doesn't provide IPv6 and untill
they ALL do, you must support ipv4 and I'd hope forever or untill ipv5
or ipv7 though ipv5/7 is dreaming, as you've pointed out quite well.

If someone wants to permanently pay the bills for us to get PI IPv6
space, we might hook it up.

I remember having similar discussion here with Theo and Claudio a while ago:

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.openbsd.misc/177418

The problem is, IPv6 has some dragons hidden that don't show up in a
newspaper article. You need experience to see them and even the
protocol itself isn't simple. In addition, some people misunderstand
the creators' intents (how many times did you use *and got working*
multiple address spaces in one network to provide connection
redundancy, instead of PI space, which is difficult to acquire?),
others make wrong assumptions (/48s where /24 was too much already,
because the space is oh so big!), try to force their old IPv4 customs
(/117 for hundreds of users), act irrationally (non-/64 netmask and
gateway via DHCPv6 in Linux, yay!) and suddenly the real world
application turns into quite a mess. Hell, some soho routers still
don't work well in IPv4, what'd you expect?
You're probably going to experience some of that that the IPv6 day
after tomorrow.

However, I don't believe we're in a point where anyone can go back.
Even if Theo, Henning and Claudio sat for a month and came up with
something everyone would like, I have never met a manager willing to
throw away millions of Cisco's "development" dollars. I have met very
few network admins willing to learn yet another "solution". And I
don't believe Microsoft is going to give Class E addresses in old
Windows some welly, either. Nor anyone volunteerly giving up their 20
years old precious /16. Welcome to the human race.

As a result, you're either in or out. Either you're making a living,
and not-supporting IPv6 means deliberately disserving your customers
(sorry everyone, but ordinary people don't give a damn about your
opinion), or you're a non-profit organization, such as OpenBSD, and
you can rebel against it by not using it.

They're too lazy to want to wield axes.

Why, do you not support ipv4?

My network at home runs IPv6 and www.openbsd.org is perfectly reachable
by falling back to v4. The only real problem I see is where a site
advertises v6 addresses but the connectivity is broken - that is a real
problem today, especially with such large and important networks as
Cogent and Hurricane Electric having no connectivity between each other
(google will find you lots more information about this).

If you have a network without even natted IPv4 connectivity (though
I don't understand why anyone would want that and I'd consider it
broken), the following website mirrors have working  records.
