What I'm seeing is that about 0.1% of all hosts supports IPv6. That  
means that the chance of a random data flow being between two IPv6  
hosts is one in a million. In order to see a measurable amount of IPv6  
traffic at least a few percent of all hosts must support IPv6.

Running IPv6 tomorrow makes no sense. But running IPv4 in 2020 doesn't  
make any sense, either. At some point the unstoppable force will meet  
the unmovable object.
