In Germany i see most ISPs adopting IPv6 by using DS-Lite[0] which is basically handing out only IPv6 addresses and using CGNAT for IPv4 connectivity by mapping IPv4 addresses into IPv6 address space on the CPE. I don't like that at all as it makes you practically unreachable from the IPv4 address space. In order to get IPv4 addresses you often have to convince them on the phone and describe your use case. When you've done that you will get IPv4 address but no IPv6 addresses anymore. I have no idea why they seem to be so reluctant to a true Dual-Stack solution....

Because schools don't talk about IPv6 enough to make sysadmins and programmers comfortable with it, I think that's the root cause.

  And not that it was a bad idea in the first place ?

    Can I assume based on your username why you don't like IPv6?
