While not specifically Postfix-related, I think it is lamentable that
IPv6 is still treated like an unwanted stepchild even by "big" (as in
volume) players. As was mentioned earlier, a mail server *requires*
IPv4 connectivity to have a fighting chance.

As for hosters, I find Hetzner's approach interesting: All their
products come with a /64 IPv6 subnet included, while IPv4 addresses are
an optional addon, billed separately. That makes IPv6-only connectivity
both the default and the cheaper option. One might argue that Hetzner is
using this to fill their coffers, but I see it as being transparent
about where the combined cost is originating. Just have a look at prices
during IPv4 auctions.
