I* (including but not limited to "I" and "IPv6") are facetious,
of course.

First, vendors of IPv6 address space should seriously tell vendors of
Internet service supply IPv6 service.

Then, vendors of Internet service should seriously tell vendors of
routers that they really supply IPv6 capable routers.

And there will be a v6-capable Internet, only after which there
will be some good reason, beyond curiosity, to deploy v6 on 
private production networks. 

And then, we can get around depleted address space.
