The new address features of IPv6 should resolve this as easily as
changing providers.
What features are those?
Autoconfiguration - IPV6 allows autoconfiguration of the devices by either
the router, DHCP server or both.

And how will autoconfiguring a particular device affect the firewall filters and other related configurations? How will I be able to autoconfigure (say) the DNS server(s), the DHCP server(s), or the routers throughout the entire site's infrastructure?


This should resolve most of the problems when merging networks, just change
the part atthe front of the /64 (or /48) address and leave the hosts the
same.

I suspect you are underestimating the difficulty of renumbering and overestimating the level of clue of people asked to do the renumbering.
