Some of us are pragmatically doing both.  I fully anticipate that I'll 
need to provide my customers with both IPv6 and IPv4 service for a 
number of years.  I suspect a lot of us will need to be prepared with 
dual-stack network connectivity, and some plan for dealing with 
post-exhaustion v4 addressing (even if it's just telling your customers 
to BYOA).
