Note that there are two challenges left for IPv6:

1) cellular network IPv6 support, which is completely different from Ethernet 
and WiFi support

2) application support

Most toolkits and low-level libraries (including Qt and glibc) have supported 
IPv6 for years now, as has the Linux kernel. The problem is really in the 
applications themselves. They either don't make use of the IPv6 support that 
is there, or they have silly arbitrary limitations that make IPv6 not 
possible. For example, have you seen input fields for IPs?

We probably need to start testing applications in IPv6-only contexts.
