The world is running out of IPv4 addresses. IPv6 will be required within a year or two. Now is the time to make sure every piece of software you use that requires IP connectivity supports IPv6. In 2-3 years time it will be too late as you won't have the option to fall back to IPv4. IPv6 connectivity is available to everyone today if they wish it. You don't have to wait for you ISP to supply it. What I want to see is a knob that turns off all IPv4 support so I can find the missing pieces easily.
