If there's no IPv6 on the network, as is the case for 99%+ of networks today, IPv4 *won't* be made optional by such a change. Either IPv4 or IPv6 must succeed even if neither is marked as "required", and if there's no IPv6 on the network, the succeeding protocol pretty much has to be IPv4. Also, for what it's worth, Microsoft Windows (since Vista, 2006) and Apple Mac OS X (since Lion, 2011) supports IPv6-only networks in their default configuration. With that in mind, it is hard for me to understand what that «far more pain» concern you have is all about. Could you be more specific?
