   It is both.   
   Reality AND definitely sad!

   Yeah ... see above ... very sad indeed!

    DC> fine here on IPv4, just as it always has.   
      
   That depends.   
   If you have a CGNNAT IPv4 you can only make outgoing connections. (you are NOT   
   reachable by others!!)   
   If you have IPv6 only you have NO connection to any IPv4 only node.   
      
    DC> Most people (including me) don't care.  When the v4's run out,   
    DC> things will be different.  For now..... it's not needed.   
      
   IPv4 HAS run out!!!   
   New ISPs only receive an emergency IPv4 allocation. (/22 I think).
