But that means all users, belonging to another entity, would have to use the same IP address family.  This prevents a graceful upgrade from IPv4 to IPv6 as the handsets/SIP UAs/etc. become IPv6-capable, as there will be unnecessary translation to the old address family
(IPv4) even though IPv6 could be done end-to-end.  

Med: I don't get the point Dan.

Who would flip that configuration switch on Tuesday at 3am to declare 'most of my users are IPv6'?  That's risky because it will now exercise code paths that have never been exercised.
