That sounds like only using 6to4 addresses until the entire internet
supports IPv6.
Unfortunately there were NEVER enough IPv4 addresses to actually do that.
We
were effectively out of IPv4 addresses before we started.
People tend to forget that TCP/IP was not the only routing protocol out there all those years ago. What if OSI or one of the others had prospered instead ? IPv4 kind of morphed into the Internet as we know it more it more from good luck than good planning I would say. Things could have been a lot worse ! To name a few - IPX, X25, Banyan Vines, DECnet and even Appletalk! Ovbiously many of these could not grow into the "internet" but.....
