Unlikely.  ISPs are just going to start forcing users to use NAT more
aggressively, use tunnelling, etc.  No residential client is going to
be given a connection that's incapable of accessing IPv4-only sites
until virtually all sites have switched, which is probably at least a
decade from now.  They'd (rightfully) cancel their subscription on the
grounds that the Internet doesn't work.

Of course, it would be great if we could switch sooner, and I hope we
will.  But it's not like we'll *need* to.
