Hello Mel,

 While it may be possible to have an IPv6 only environment, I don't
think it is really viable. There are simply too many things that don't run
on or have very limited support for IPv6 that it makes it very hard
to drop IPv4 altogether and until something comes along forcing the
move it likely won't happen for at least another decade at the minimum.

Best regards,
Richard Gallamore
