Do you wait to roll out v6 until you start seeing v6-only hosts start popping up? From an accounting and cost recovery stand point, that probably makes sense in some environments.
And so everyone is waiting for everyone else to see IPv6 traffic. Which is sort of where we are now. Everyone is standing around the pool waiting for everyone else to jump in. The usual "early adopters" are in there but people are still waiting for "Mikey" to see if he likes it.
However, consider the fact that there will be v6 only hosts popping up after IANA/RIR/ISP exhaustion. There will be new entrants in the
public
internet space that cannot obtain v4 addresses and will be reachable via v6 only ...
Yep, you can't do NAT64 if you don't have "4". But that said, just because ARIN is exhausted doesn't mean PA space is exhausted so there will be addresses available though it will be tight.
