Perhaps, but there's such a thing as IPv6 darkness also.  For instance,
the assumption that existing applications can survive changes in the IP
addresses of the hosts on which they reside without significant changes
to those applications.  Or the assumption that it's reasonable for
applications to have to deal with multiple source and destination IP
addresses without access to routing or topology information.
