One problem with IPv4 is that each interface can only have one IP. With IPv6 an interface can have many! For example both a private and a public IP address!

?? multiple IPv4 addresses work fine... ip addr add 192.0.2.2 dev eth0

It's true that IPv6 requires IP stacks to support this, but nothing in IPv4 prevents IP stacks from supporting it.
