I don't agree. Applications that walk all addresses (v6 and v4) are
widely deployed without any problems. I am thinking about ssh, http,
smtp, etc. Porting applications to use both v4 and v6 addresses is
in many cases easy.

It seems like what you are promoting is balkanizing the internet.
Some nodes are v4-only and can only talk to v4-only. Other nodes
are v6-only and can only talk to v6-only. Is that what you want?
