You either have enough addresses to give every customer a IPv4 address or you don't. If you don't have enough addresses you are going to have to use some sort of CGN whether that is NAT444 or AFTR or some other transition technology which shares IPv4 addresses. Isn't the IETF's preferred transition strategy still "dual stack" or are you thinking that ISP's that can't get enough IPv4 address have to go IPv6 only?
