Since IPV6 does not have NAT, it's going to be difficult for the layman
to understand their firewall. deployment of ipv4 is pretty simple.
ipv6 on the otherhand is pretty difficult at the network level. yes,
all the clients get everything automatically except for the router/firewall.

Who is the layman in this story? Almost every system I work with at home and in
the datacenter has IPv6 turned on by default. If someone wandered through those
networks, and started turning on IPv6 infrastructure so that they started
getting IPv6 addresses, my bet is that most of the java-based applications
would already be bound to the stacks in such a way that they would just start
sending traffic over IPv6. I base this on the fact that any number of
developers have been confused by “::” being somewhere in their world now. Those
people don’t care about the network, or IPv4 vs IPv6. It would just work.
Now, if layman == Network Operators, and Networking people at Corporations,
well, there you might be right.
