If IPv6 was a human, its mum & dad would be having a serious conversation right now. Something like "Look, son, you're 30 and we love you but you can't just keep relying on Dual-Stack to pay your bills. You need to get out there and route on your own."

Mum will be like: Sush, Dad. Well, I guess Happy Birthday IPv6!

Dad will be like: IPv6 you are the "Linux on the Desktop" of the networking layer.
