Risker, I think you're over-reacting here. Yes,
there are risks
associated with IPv6. No, they haven't been addressed completely
before IPv6 day (apparently because of the very late moment the
decision to participate was taken). But it hasn't destroyed the
projects so far and chances are, by the time IPv6 vandalism will have
any significant effect, they will be solved (estimates are that 50% of
the Internet users will have IPv6 only in 6 years [1]).
You seem to be assuming that vandals will switch to IPv6 at the same
rate as non-vandals.
An analogous assumption, which has proven to be false, would be that
vandals would use anonymizing proxies at the same rate as non-vandals.
If there is little content available on IPv6, people
will
not even be aware it exists and they will not demand it from their
ISP, which means there will be no users for IPv6 content making it
useless and the loop will continue. Someone had to break this loop and
the content providers were the easiest place this could happen.
No one has to break the loop. The loop will break itself. Either
enough people will get sick of NAT to cause demand for IPv6, or they
won't.
