At no point have I said "don't deploy IPv6". I could care less about 
that part. The problem is, v4 will still be needed. NAT64 has it's own 
issues. NAT444 is probably the best we have for handling the v4 side of 
things.

If applications utilize a mixture of STUN, ICE, and TURN, NAT444 might 
just happen to work. With NAT64, hopefully everyone will use the well 
known prefix, so they can address v4 hosts properly within the v6 
addressing.

There will still be breakage, though.
