We have known this was coming since the 90's, IPv6 was finalised in 1998, yet more than 12 years later there are very few ISPs supporting it and even less software.
I suspect anything relying on IPv4 connectivity is going to require IPv4 thru IPv6 tunneling in the future, which is the opposite of the IPv6 thru IPv4 we are seeing at the moment.
I wish my damned ISP would hurry up and support IPv6 natively rather than forcing everyone to use tunnelling...
