If I told my security information officer "We don't protect against foreseeable threat X because we assume no one will bother to try X" she would not be very happy with me.
When a valid data concern has been expressed and described, putting your head in the sand is the incorrect response. I want IPv4 to die as much as the next person but at a minimum organizations such as hospitals and government installations will not accept that sort of outside visibility into their network.
