It will happen. I have both a DSL and a FTTH connection and both are dual stack already. When disabling IPv4 (on my CPE) most major sites are OK (Google, Facebook, Youtube). So from a consumer perspective the change will be less noticeable (DNS takes care of that). Security however is a different aspect: this could be a potential nightmare with lots of devices directly connected to the internet. Besides the security aspects, for ISPs (where I work) there are quite a lot of changes (main router vendors that are not ready yet, provisioning systems that are not ready, CPE's etc.) so the real work and part of the reason why adoption is slow, lies there.
All that being said: it's about time Hacker News itself becomes IPv6 ready!
