I know these folks are well-meaning but I find these constant "warnings" to be insulting. What people really need to be aware of is that the folks making decisions of how the internet should run, "the experts", are not always as smart as they think they are. They make mistakes. And it's hard to get a bunch of know-it-all's to agree.
It's also hard to get the entire `net to switch their behaviour, and adopt something that is incompatible with IPv4, without telling them what benefit they will gain by doing so. Can you blame them? But the "experts" and their zombie followers sure are trying.
IPv4 works. NAT works. NAT can be traversed. So what is the problem exactly?
As a home user, I can set up my own NAT'ing scheme with private IPv4 space far easier than I can learn to deal with the added complexity of IPv6.
OK, now I will get skewered by IPv6 fanatics. How many of them are getting paid to do IPv6 consulting work?
IPv4: It Just Works.
"Experts": They make mistakes, just like everyone else.

Now, let's hear from the "experts".
