The business reason is the world is moving to IPv6.  Failing to accept
that fact means crippling the future.  Why have companies such as
Google, Microsoft, Apple, Cisco, Globe & Mail, SuSE, Mozilla and many,
many more, along with Canadian and U.S. federal governments made the
move to IPv6?  Don't they have systems that have to be hardened?

The Internet has been hobbled by IPv4 for far too long.  It's time to
move on.  Refusing to use IPv6 means you're stuck in the past.
