I came across these threads today; the blind ignorance towards IPv6 from
some of the posters is kind of shocking. 

There are actually a few good points mixed in there, like the guy who
observes that dual stacking is of limited utility if there are no v4
addresses to be had.

Dual stack w/ CGN for IPv4.  That can be supplied a number of ways
and it has more limitations for IPv4 that conventional CPE based
NAT.

Turning on dual stack, even at this late stage, lights up IPv6,
moves most of the traffic to IPv6 so that CGN's don't need to be
so beefy, and doesn't mean that you have to have perfect IPv6
everywhere when you turn on IPv6.
