The more likely scenario to me is everyone slowly running more and more ipv4 traffic over ipv6.
Home providers will start tunnelling ipv4 traffic over v6 (this is already the case here, termed "Dual-Stack Lite"), computers will start start doing 4->6 translation locally according to instructions given over Route Advertisements, hosters will start providing ipv4 load balancers to make their VMs v4-reachable, etc.
It looks to me like we are heading to world where ipv4 will work forever, but be turned into ipv6 at the first possible opportunity.
