A Swiss VM hosting provider has a technical blog post about how to kill IPv4 completely on FreeBSD [ungleich.ch]. That is to say, turning it completely off, not just preferring IPv6. They then solicit concrete soutions describing, along with a proof of concept, how turn IPv4 completely off in other operating systems and allowing them to communicate with IPv6 only.
