why, inspite of having such shortage of static-public IP's, is IPv6 still not in wide use?

Because many things must be changed to use IPv6 exclusively?
Because we get around the problem by using NATs and other such tricks.

Because what many things must be changed? Most TCP/IP Stacks support IPv6. Who else looks at packets at network layer? Routers & switches. ummmm... That must be the majority of the many things?

No good. We manage to creep around. If we could have managed to get around, there would have had no need for IPv6.

simple, it is still in development and the present ipv4 is not unusable so lets wait and put in as many features as possible and come up with something that wil stay for long. The longer something takes to come the longer it lasts, just wish it comes out in the proper time and is not delayed a lot.
