Indeed. Even ARIN has finally started to tell people that IPv4 is running
out. There are currently significant deployments of IPv6 in the
Asia-Pacific region. And it appears that Comcast is planning to move to
IPv6 for its own network deployment, which may mean that many U.S. homes
will have native v6 in the near future (the upshot of their plans aren't
actually clear to me yet, but if you're interested in some of what they're
telling people they're doing, look for Alain Durand's presentation to the
v6ops working group at the last IETF meeting).

This seems like a good idea to me.
