Well, a good question. One less network stack to manage, debug and diagnose 
(dhcp, routing, nat, firewalling).

Since I run docker for everything, no more port NAT into docker either - since 
docker IPv6 containers can route directly.

If my router did NAT64, then everything can be managed on 1 device (but it 
doesnt). So I'm thinking of creating an IPv4 DMZ host (which my public IPv4 
address will forward to) and do all my NAT 4->6 there, and my router can manage 





















































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































all my IPv6 and firewalling.

Then I'll happily advocate that theme gods start turning off IPv4. ;)
