Well, I know this is probably a silly worry, but I run behind an IPv4 NAT,
which makes me feel fairly safe.
I know that IPv6 is a much larger address space so, iiuc, it would be harder
for a "cracker" to find IPv6, but I'd probably want to continue to run behind
NAT, so the idea that I wouldn't even know if my ISP switched to IPv6 does not
make me comfortable.
But, no need for any replies -- I'll try to stay with IPv4 as long as I can.

If you reply: snip, snip, and snip again; leave attributions; avoid HTML;
avoid top posting; and keep it "on list". (Oxford comma included at no
charge.) If you change topics, change the Subject: line.
Writing is often meant for others to read (legal agreements excepted?) -- make
it easier for your reader by various means, including liberal use of
whitespace.
If someone else has already responded to a question, decide whether any
response you add will be helpful or not ...
