No, it is not.

Simple.  Developer calls ISP and asks for IPv6.  ISP says not right now.
Developer gives ISP reasonable amount of time to get IPv6.  ISP does 
not.  Developer calls ISP and cancels service and tells them they are
cancelling because they are going down the street to a different ISP
that IS supplying IPv6.
