That is a stupid idea. Your ISP might finally gain some clue and
finally enable IPv6 after it has been mandatory on the Internet for a
decade.

North America is cursed with ample IPv4 resources. Not all continents
have that "luxury" of not being forced off an obsolete proto that
needs crutches to limp.

A host with IPv6 enabled has absolutely no disadvantages over a host
that has IPv6 deliberately disabled. IPv6 doesn't autoconfigure if the
network doesn't offer it.

IPv6 allows me to reach any host on my local network directly from the
network. I use this daily when I'm traveling or working at a different
site to access my infrastructure.
