I used to help large companies rearchitect their addressing, implement
IPv6, etc. for a living, so no one is more sympathetic than I am about
how difficult it can be to make these changes. However, I have to ask,
how far backwards do we want to bend for those that refuse to migrate?
There have already been at least two lines in the sand that the IETF has
backed down from. Is it even useful for us to keep saying "IPv6 is the
way forward" any more?

I recently had a discussion with an Asian ISP that was asking the IETF to
PLEASE re-declare DoD space to be private space so that they could use it. This
particular ISP uses IPv6 extensively (a lot of their services are in fact
IPv6-only) but has trouble with its enterprise customers. Frankly, enterprise
use of IPv6 is a problem; they seem to push back pretty hard against using IPv6.
I find this thread highly appropriate.
