Here's my (completly biased, and untrustworthy) opinion: IPv6 is a can of worms that I really *Don't* want to open. I'm not even convinced we need it anymore. They've been saying we're running out of addresses for how long? Most of our websites are run under one IP address, you don't need an ip-address per website anymore, and companies don't need class C's for their LAN's with NAT around now. (Class C used to be used for internet-connected LANs.) Have you ever tried to get your head round IPv6? I have... and promptly gave up. When I have to, I will, but I hope I never have to. Its not that memorable, or easy...
