I agree. When there is a case of v4 legacy app unable to use IPv6 transport
for what ever reasons, its rather better to go enable IPv4 on the peer,
still supporting IPv6-only network over dual-stack lite network.  Or, modify
the app to use IPv6 transport and avoid the huge cost and management of
dealing with a modified stack and on all OS variants. We are mainly mixing a
true legacy requirement with new requirements which are debatable.
