According to Poul-Henning Kamp:

I see it as very desirable now for several reasons besides the usual ones
(shortage of address space, explosion of routing tables):
- it provides true mobility (still in the works I know),
- the larger address space enables one to avoid the NAT abomination,
- security is mandatory (even if many people don't wand the overhead),
- autoconfiguration is really great

OSI is still present in two major areas: telecom systems (GSM, supervision of
the same) and Aeronautical systems (Air Traffic Management / Control). I work
in the latter and we're pushing IPv6 as much as we can.
