updating software is trivial. and 30 year old software is something for those dev's to worry about not yourself an isp.

A long term future is probably every end user still been able to use an ipv4 ipfor legacy alongside ipv6, but those people with ip ranges been moved over to ipv6 this will free up many ip's, many datacentres do this already, they give a base ipv4 but additional ips are ipv6, and I have datacentres trying to reclaim ip's of me as well. For this reason I am dual stacking alot of services I host now as eventually those services will have to be ipv6 only. I also am testing ipv6 on my home rig although I can only do this via tunneling due to the fact I cant get ipv6 of either of my isp's.

The dual stacking for long time as you put it should have started 10 years ago then CG nat wouldnt have been close to been needed, plus I think wont be needed is isp's manage ips well like removing of customers with multiple ips instead of natting people with single ips.
