Absolutely - my comment wasn't meant to portray a negative by any stretch
of the imagination. Personally I see huge leaps in IPv6-only due to my
current role. I see all of this migration as largely inevitable, albeit at
whatever pace makes sense for each individual organization.
The inclusion of CLAT into windows and subsequent deployment thereafter
will be an absolute watershed moment for those of us tasked with disabling
IPv4 across our respective agencies in the USG.
After that, I see deployment only increasing.
