OK, so I know why it was invented: IPv4 running out of space.
But having followed the various conversations about IPv6 capable ISPs, I'm left wondering why anyone wants to actually use IPv6 right now?

So what reasons are there to play with IPv6? Just because we can? Because we want to learn about it for the future? Or is there actually anything practical I could do with IPv6 that I can't with IPv4, or that just works better on IPv6?
My main reason for wanting to use it is "Because we want to learn about it for the future". Learning about stuff is a major driver for a lot of the things I do with my PC.
