The necessary changes to applications would be minimal,
the "happy eyeballs" contortion completely unnecessary
and the security assessment for an IPv6 enabled network
*MUCH* simpler.

Happy eyeballs just points out problems with multi-homing in general.
IPv4 has the *same* problem and sites spend 1000's of dollars working
around the issue which could have been addressed with a couple of
extra lines of code on the client side in most cases.
