that's net-centric thinking.  the internet won't die from this affliction, i
agree with that.  a lot of individual isp's will die from it, and, a lot of
individual enterprise career paths will be flattened by it too.  if 25% of the
net makes money when the ipv6 switch happens, and 50% fails to lose money, and
25% loses money, then the net survives.  but depending on which % each of us
falls into, we might say we got tutored.

leaving it at that would be a kind of tough love incompatible with stewardship.
if some folks float to the tail of the curve by conscious choice, well, there
wasn't much we could do about it.  (i have a teenager at home now, so i'm hip
to this.)  but this community has a lot of consciousness raising to do before
that choice can be thought to have been conscious.
