But you do need a public IPv4 address for that do you?
Presently I have native IPv6 with dual stack. But the writing is on the wall, it isn't forever. My ISP's policy used to be that only new customers get DS-Lite, but it seems they are now also converting
existing customers. As long as my present cable modem keeps working I
am probably safe, but if it releases its supply of smoke and goes to Modem Walhalla, that may change.
So... with every change to my system I ask "will it still work if I
loose my public IPv4 address"?

My long term dual stack future is assured at this stage,
my ISP has a good supply of IPv4 and is geek friendly.
I suspect if they start moving customers to DS-Lite, they will still
have an option for those who want to keep their public IPv4 at a
modest extra cost.

Then let's hope it won't be the life time of your ISP that is the deciding factor. Here the small ones are almost all eaten by the big ones. And then it becomes less geek friendly.
My choice is limited. My present ISP has a quasy monopoly in my situation. They offer a good deal regarding price speed and content but they are not geek friendly. They are not geek hostile either though.
ADSL is not really in option here with te 70+ year old copper in the street. It can not compete with the coax. And no fiber in sight...

That would be nice. In the longer run, you may run into the problem of hardware manufacturers gradually dropping support for IPv4. But then again, by the time that happens, it probably won't matter any more.

I should rephrase that. s/if/when/ Because seeing the signs on the

Given the low penetration of IPv6 here, 10 years is not out of the question (I'd rate it better than 50/50).

Here, the situation is different. Few ISPs actually own access infrastructure, and with the new national network rolling out, pretty
much all will be dependent on this network to reach their customers.
Still a good question. :) Not one I have to consider for quite a
while, though I have proven that as long as I have access to a public
IPv4 from _somewhere_, a tunnel will work, and I'm sure that will hold even if I have to run my own NAT on the far end of the VPN.
I have been running IPv6 via 6to4 tunnels for over half a decade. Technically the reverse, IPv4 via a 4to6 tunnel should work just as
well. If need be, I will go that way. But that is plan C. Plan A is to have dual stack until my provider forces me to DS-Lite. My hope is
that when that happens, I no longer need a public IPv4 address. Plan B
is to switch provider.

I am a bit more optimistic. I expect that onc IPv6 becomes the dominant protocol, it will go very quick. In Belgium IPv6 already is the
dominant protocol.

I think that is a good development. Here the owner(s) of the old copper originally designed for POTS are by law required to allow competitors
to make use of the infrastructure. But oddly enough that does not apply to the coax cable originally designed for broadcasting TV. The owner of the coax has a monopoly on it.

So you are planning on supporting incoming IPv4 for as long as you can. If need be at extra cost.
I am going the other way. I plan on fasing out IPv4 as soon as
practical. Dual stack and DS-Lite are transition mechanisms. One can
not switch from IPv4 to IPv6 overnight, because that would require all
of the word wide internet to throw the switch at the same time. That is not going to work, so we need a period of overlap where both IPv4 and IPv6 are supported. But I am not a member of the "more is better club". Supporting two protocols in parallel increases the chance of bugs and
the effort required to trace and fix them. Also I would gladly get rid
of NAT. The sooner I can get rid of IPv4 the better I say. I encourage the use of IPv6. But when the IPv6 train really gets on steam, the next step would be to discourage the use of IPv4.

There is quite a difference between letting competitors using fixed ciruits and competitors mutiplexing on the same signal carrier.

I can see a medium term or later scenario where the "Power Pack"
option that gives me my static IPv4 address and IPv6 prefix could be
the way I'd keep my IPv4 public address, while maintaining my static
IPv6 prefix.
I am old fashioned. I still use the aether when making HAM

Oh, I do that too, but there is a lot of interconnectivity - net44 (amprnet), IRLP, Echolink, the various digital voice modes (DMR,
D-STAR, etc), and things like remote bases - something increasingly required to run HF these days, with the increasing RF noise pollution
in urban areas.
Almost all of this is IPv4 only. My own remote base
actually has the potential to become IPv6 capable - I would need to
work on a suitable audio transport medium, probably web based. Control wise, it's already IPv6 capable - I can simply SSH in to control it.
;)
But of course there is my other hobby: Fidonet. Still plenty of
IPv4 only legacy software around.
And legacy nodes - networked systes can be difficult to migrate.
Maybe the solution is to go IPv6 at the application level and have a series of 6in4 tunnels along each route where there's an IPv4 only endpoint.
We've discussed Fidonet before, and we're probably close to a tipping point. If all nodes that ran IPv6 capable software (e.g. binkd) also
ran 6in4 tunnels or even VPNs, where 6in4 wasn't possible, we'd have a
lot more IPv6 capable nodes out there.
Can also simply restructure FTN networks so that there's good routing available on dual stack nodes, so IPv6 only nodes can get a good feed
more easily.
Old Man... ;-)
Haha, pot, kettle, black. :P
But in all seriousness, it's frustrating when software authors of new systems don't take IPv6 into account and tke the opportunity to
modernise their security and authentication. :(

For me the fun is running my own stuff at home. Noise pollution is stil bearable here. If I can no longer do HF from home, I will just stop

Indeed, there could be a lot more. Unfortunately many sysops do not

Belgium is world leader in IPv6 adoption with 51%. It does not show in Fidonet. :-(

There are no true IPv6 only nodes yet and there probably won't be any
for a long time to come. All present IPv6 capable nodes can still make outgoing connects over IPv4. I think we already are past the tipping point. There are enough IPv6 capable nodes that can act as echomail
hubs. Running an IPv6 node should be doable.
Frustrating indeed. :-(
Most ISPs here don't offer static addresses for consumers either, but

Here the DSL providers issue static addresses. The cable providers
issue dynamic addresses. But they are quasy static. My IPv4 address is linked to the MAC address of my router. If the MAC address changes, the IPv4 address changes. If I change the MAC address back before the lease expires, I get back the old address. IPv6 is still unchartered
territory. Couple of month ago we had an unscheduled power outage. When the power came back on, my IPv4 address had not changed. But I got a different IPv6 prefix. Both have been stable since then.
Coming to think of it, ... that legacy allocation 44.0.0.0/8 reserved
for HAM radio is a mixed blessing. It gives the HAMs plenty of IPv4 address space. More than they will ever need. A /28 for every HAM.
Active or not. A luxury. But... it also makes them lazy. In Dutch we
call this "remmende voorsprong". The success of the French Minitel was
a main reason why Fidonet never really got off the ground in France.
The same mechanism is slowing down IPv6 penetration in the HAM world.

Oddly enough the US and Canada are leading in IPv6 adoption. While
ARIN, the RIR serving Northern America was the last to run out of IPv4.
Two years ago. APNIC, the RIR serving your area ran out six years ago
and RIPE five years ago. One would expect the latter two to be
