Many many reasons…

1.	Your IPv4 inside addresses are not going to communicate as well with IPv6 outside addresses
	as native IPv6 addresses would.

2.	The overhead and cost involved in maintaining bifurcated infrastructures is excessive with
	very little benefit once you no longer need IPv4 support for your external connectivity.
	(No, that day is not yet here, but it is coming and I do look forward to it)

3.	NAT breaks audit trails and makes troubleshooting and identifying compromised systems
	unnecessarily difficult.

4.	IPv6 allows you much greater flexibility in numbering your network in a structured and
	logical way without having to preplan how many hosts a given subnet needs to accommodate.
	If I had a nickel for every time I’ve encountered an IPv4 10.x.x.x interface on a router
	that has 3 or more different subnets all sharing the same link because they ran out of
	space on the first 2 as the subnet expanded, I could probably afford a beverage from
	Seattle’s Most Overpriced Beverage Vendor. With IPv6, you assign a /64 and you’ll
	never run out of room for additional hosts on the subnet no matter what.

	(You’ll hit MAC layer forwarding table limits before you use up the addresses)

5.	If you were building greenfield today, why would you deal with IPv4 on the inside? Why
	not deploy pure IPv6 and use NAT64 or similar technology at the edge if you still need
	to preserve IPv4 connectivity for now. Advantage: In a few years, you just turn off the
	translator without major network upheaval. If you deploy a greenfield network as if
	it were a v4 network from bygone years, you’re still going to face all the hurdles of
	transition some day.

6.	Finally, “dealing with IPv6” is a LOT easier than dealing with IPv4. It’s just different.

> Unless you're running a NOC or a Web Server Farm - you really don't need more than 1 Public IP address for even 500+ private surfing endpoints.   Outside of standard ports like TCP/25 - you can overload a single IP address with hundreds of high random ports.

But why would you want to? What possible advantage is there to this? This seems almost like slave mentality. We’ve gotten so used to the scarcity of IPv4 addresses and the hacks used to work around it that we’ve not only accepted the bondage of the IPv4 shackles, we’ve come to embrace them with some bizarre kind of reverence as if deploying something friendlier is some form of sacrilege. It boggles the mind, truly.

> Right now - the biggest public IPv4 issue is waste.   There are tons of public IPv4's that are not used because they are part of an overallocated customer block.   

No… The biggest IPv4 issue is the lack of unicast addresses. There are nearly 7 billion people on this planet. Each one has or likely will have at least 5 personal iPv4 end points. That’s a need for a minimum of 35 billion addresses to build out a peer to peer network without even counting infrastructure, service providers, servers, etc.

The biggest problem surrounding IPv4 is this idea that peer to peer is useless and we should all accept the idea of provider/supplicant and second class citizens.
