You are hurting my head, honestly. You're so flat out wrong it's not even funny.
Nobody's saying go "v6 only". We're saying run the two in parallel. When running 'dual stack', v4 and v6 are independent short of DNS resolution where you'll often receive both A and AAAA responses and your application needs to decide which one it prefers. For sockets that aren't v6 compatible, it will just use the A response and ignore the AAAA response completely.
Just because Skype isn't currently v6 compatible should have no bearing on whether or not you actually deploy IPv6.
Go study for your CCNA.
