This song exactly explains why you should care about IPv6 :)

I don't get this "anti IPv6" behaviour. If people are not willing to  
adopt it, it will not get tested which in turn will make other people  
hesitating to jump on the bandwagon. Having it compiled in your system  
does not cause harm if you don't configure it and for everything else  
there are traffic filters. Just like IPv4.
