The conversation is ridiculously fast.
* We can't not support IPv4.
* IPv6 clients can connect to v4 only hosts.
* Supporting IPv6 is nonzero additional work.
* The cost of v4 addresses is on the order of a deli sandwich.
* (If not greenfield) We have a working v4 system right now and adding v6 support is entirely risk with no benefit.
* (Meant negatively) v6 is substantially different. So we will forever be maintaining two sets of networking stacks that play by different rules.
