> Most security conscious operators would only allow IPv4 instead of IPv6.
I strongly disagree. That's obsolete knowledge, thrown around by people who want to be considered security conscious but haven't actually updated their knowledge in many years. A statement with similar implications might be "security conscious operators require their users to rotate their passwords monthly", which is what a lot of people use to think a decade ago, and now what it really communicates is that you're talking to a dinosaur.
IPv6 will never replace IPv4 because it is a different protocol rather than merely a new version. The name is a lie.
