If and only if, all the effort available and tasks required were 
confined to the participants of this conversation, only then would this 
point be valid. That was the case circa the ARPANET. It is no longer.

It is up to the individual operators and network and customers and users 
to let it go. Not us, even for an expansive version of "us".

No. That is an irrational fear, based on zero sum game, assuming control 
and coordination that cannot ever be realized.

Not to mention that this statement is in and of itself quite damning of 
IPv6.

That it wont happen unless there is absolutely no choice? Is it really 
that bad? Why cant it win on its own merits?

Not a very nice picture.
