Few weeks ago I had interesting discussion with *unnamed* Google VIP. His answer has been:
"Google engineers doesn't see need to spend money on building IPv6 infrastructure. You, as user, can motivate them by sending request supporting this idea."

So did you write your e-mail to Google techies?

Why would Google techies care. However you might point out to Google advertisers how many eyeballs no longer get their advertising because
they are on IPv6 connections.

Oh, that's right. User's probably don't know or care whether its IPv6, IPv4 or IPX. After a while, when the IPv4toIPV6 tunnels and translators are overloaded, some eyeballs and content will discover each other gets
better performance going "native." And it will happen. Trying to force
it before just makes it grumpy.

The Internet has always been an example of just-in-time engineering.
