I do not think it's a good idea. In my network I have network segments
which are really IPv6-only (no DHCP, no IPv4 addresses assigned to the
router's interfaces, and in some cases even onlink IPv4 communication
is blocked). But this document is not about that kind of deployment,
it's about deploying a network where some endpoints are IPv6-only (do
not have IPv4 addresses), some are dual-stack and some could even be
IPv4-only - and all those clients co-exist on the same network
segment.
We need a term to identify such deployments, to differentiate them
from 'IPv6-only, no IPv4 at all at the network level' model.
When we were working on RFC8925, we did discuss the terminology for a
while, and 'IPv6-mostly' was the best one we came up with.
I guess we can talk about a better term but I've noticed this one
getting popular..

Do you mean peer2peer onlink communication, within the same segment?
