In my 40+ years career I've only encountered one (1) client that ran IPv6 
internally (oddly enough, a law firm) and that was by management decree, 
not the tehchies' (come to think of it, I don't think they *had* a techie 
department).  Roll the lawyer jokes...

My router tries IPv6 first, but inevitably falls back to IPv4; IPv6 is a 
camel i.e. a horse designed by a committee.

If you've ever tried to grok the IPv6 spec, your brain will explode...
