See IPv6 for instance: it comes as a brand new feature practically not touching anything already in place, but even such a smooth "upgrade" is a hard sell! Have you seen this article at ArsTechnica? It goes to some lengths to explain the problems with IPv6 transition. If it's to be believed, IPv6 transition is quite far from "smooth".

Yes but it would have been much worse (read: impossible) if IPv6 deployment ever required substantial changes to IPv4.
This is an interesting article. Except they are wrong when they pretend it is easy to break backward-compatibility with Ethernet or TCP. It is not easy but only "less impossible" than breaking IPv4 backward compatibility.
Note: the focus of the article is obviously neither on Ethernet nor on TCP.
