Well, I became a contentious objector... (RFC1669). One can
confirm a real sense of humor to the cosmos, because I now
get to be lead advocate for the very scenario I noted back then
really might not be viable... :-)

We aggressively work on getting "little" Internet content sites
(aka the 'servers' of new Internet endsites) reachable via IPv6,
whether by native IPv6 to endsite, tunnel to endsite, or tunnel
transition mechanism within the ISP.
ISPs need to take the lead on this for now new sites, by actively
promoting IPv6 with IPv4 connections. Doing that, plus the
significant effort of IPv6 backbone work is serious work.
Big content providers have to figure out how to do native IPv6
(or fake it really well) before the first IPv6-only user arrives...
Their readiness has to be 100% on that day (or the day they
can't themselves obtain additional IPv4 space), but it's fairly
academic until that point.
