well, the empirical data which is confirmed here is saying that those 10% are burning most of the v4 addresses and we 
are not seeing them rollout v6 whether they 'need to' or not

so you sound right in theory, but in practice your data doesnt show that is occuring and it also suggests those 10% are 
actively supporting 'the wall' approach.
