Aye ...however we want to word it, the ultimate (long term) objective is to
get rid of IPv4. It might take a long time (till the relevant applications
become IPv6 capable) but once that happens, running dual stack will not only
not make sense but also be expensive. That interplay of words might be
required to reassure naysayers and the conservative, but let there be no
illusions as to what the ultimate objective is, and more importantly people
shouldn't be led to believe that coexistence/integration is the end ... it
is not, those are only means to and end ... v4 out v6 in.
