In IPv4 people have accepted that NAT is the best they'll ever get and it's pretty easy to do redneck multihoming by round-robin NATing a private network behind multiple public IPs. In contrast, some people thought IPv6 was going to violate the laws of physics in their favor so they're disappointed that it hasn't happened.
