There's also a big gap in the web hosting community whereas a lot of web devs recomend hosting companies who don't enable v6 by default. Always a bit sad when a customer moves away from my dual stacked stuff and downgrades to a non v6 host. It's why I've always got time and push folks like Mythic. Another story for the customer I raised in point i) which also relates to the above and your point: Moved their sites away and so I took web hosting down, then got a phone call suggests loads of people couldn't hit their website (I still get on well with them so they occasionally run things past me), turns out new company had copied DNS verbatim but their new web hosting didn't support v6 and they hadn't changed the v6 record, so ended up v6->us, v4->new provider. IIRC I re-enabled the sites just on v6 they then spent a few months trying to get new provider to get v6 working on their sites, crux is, it never happened and they had to remove v6 from their records. Thing is, I know the folks at their new provider, some very clever people and a few way cleverer than I am certainly on the networking side (I nearly went to work for them), my best guess is, it came down to priorities. Have a feeling their sites were put on a shared host/subnet whereas enabling it would mean thinking about other people or a bit of network config, so it just didn't happen. Could be completely wrong though. Overall though, most things I allude to in terms of pushing and enabling v6 are easier to do in a smaller environment (as I was in at the time) and also whereas you have customers you've built very long standing personal relationships with.
