I'm running both - as opposed to running one and playing with the other.
Unfortunately much still needs to be done before I can run IPv6 only.

- standard DNS support in Solaris is still mainly IPv4;
- DHCP support for IPv6 still work-in-progress;
- RPC (and hence NFS) unworkable (seemingly) under IPv6 on anything without
  rpcbind/portmap v3 protocol - i.e. Linux, *BSD.

If anyone's got comments on the last bit above, I'd be interested to hear
them.  As far as I can determine, a fairly large piece of work will be
required with the RPC stuff on Linux/FreeBSD etc. before we get NFS to work
over IPv6.

Aidan
