I think perhaps this rests on the assumption that the rest of the world
will be converting to IPv6 over the next couple of years.  While I'd very
much love for that to happen, the process has been going on for twelve
years already, and is likely to take another fifteen to complete.  So
people in the rest of the world will continue to be using more IPv4
addresses each year than the year before, for a while yet.

So, I encourage everyone to do whatever they can to make IPv6 a reality as
soon as possible, but also not to burn any bridges behind, just yet. 
There are a lot of users in the world who won't have access to IPv6
content for quite some time, and a lot of content that won't be accessible
to IPv6-only users for quite some time.  Dual-stack deployments will exist
for quite a while.
