Interesting. My not so humble opinion is that getting rid of IPv4 is a good 
idea. Ipv6 is the future and keeping both versions alive side by side is 
needlessly complex and expansive. So the sooner we get rid of IPv4, the better. 
About a decade ago I decided not to buy new network equipment that does not 
support IPv6 end earlier this year I updated it to: No network equipment that 
can not function in an IPv6 only environment.

Having said that, the reality is that lots of things do not work properly yet 
without IPv4, so the IPv6 only age is still a log way off.

That the Czech government takes this step is a good thing. I hope more will 
follow. Then again a lot can happen in eight years, so we we see if they really 
go through with it.
