Following up on Joe's comment that running dual stack is going to be  
de rigeur for a while.

I understand why you might want to start deploying IPv6 in addition to  
IPv4 connectivity. At this point, I don't at all understand why  
someone would shut down IPv4 while doing so. That point will come (see  
previous note on this list about a possible projection for the next 20  
years), but it will come when business requirements don't support IPv4  
any more.
