Of course you're working against the market here. Any change will meet economic resistance since the perceived markets starts out very small. But this is a truism, and would be the case independent of whether the change is IPvDJB or IPv6.

My point is that IPv6 is easier and cheaper to route than IPv4, not the other way around.
