of course...

we still have enough ipv4 space that there shouldn't be a need to convert for no reason...

Sure, it'll be awhile, but everything should still be interoperable, so what's the rush?

How can we be "left behind" with boatloads of perfectly good address space?

Ummm, maybe because ipv4 users can't get to services in the new address space?

IPSec support is a good reason. Isn't all Ipv6 traffic supposed to be encrypted?

Canada		 not all but it can be specified simply in the header field, as opposed to having to set up client-server services.

ok. good point.

...I thought that one could simply re-mask an ipv4 address into version 6 though... so at that point, as long as the route(s) to those services are properly formatted, it should still work. Guess that would still mean some new hardware along the way...
