The invisible hand has its middle finger extended, telling you and those 
like you what many have been saying for years unto deaf ears. IPv6 and 
its migration have been and continue to be an utter disaster, created 
purely out of ivory tower hubris that designed it to be an incompatible 
dual stack dual cost useless investment for most of the actual users of 
the network.

And it was easily predictable.
