As an ordinary user, I can abandon ipv4 as soon as the services that I use are on ipv6. I don't need to be able to connect to every one of the 500 million computers on the network via ipv6 - I only need to be able to connect to the servers and services that I actually use - Google, Amazon, YCombinator, etc. Worst case, I'd need to connect to all the computers in my P2P network - a few million, or all the computers in my bot net - a few million more. And in both of those cases, the client software either is or will be smart enough to keep me connected via a proxy of some sort. For example - To get to Google without ipv4, I don't need to connect to every one of their millions of servers via IPV6, I only need to get a quad A from my DNS and connect to their external facing load balancers via ipv6. As soon as I can do that, I don't need ipv4 to use Google. For all I care they could be running Arcnet on their back end servers. Another consideration is the prevalence of NAT and proxies in the corporate world. Corp users are already NAT'd, Proxied, Content Filtered anyway, so upgrading the the corporate web proxy to do 4 to 6 translation puts the entire corp desktop on the 6 network in one shot, and isn't a major re-think of Corp networking.
