+1 on this from me too. It's getting more and more difficult to keep
claiming OpenStack will have IPv6 "any day now" and not having it
in Juno will hurt credibility a lot.

IPv4 address space is basically gone. AT&T has a fair amount of it
but even we're feeling the pinch. A lot of companies have it worse.
NAT is a mediocre stop-gap at best.
We've been running IPv6 in production for well over a year.

Our pre-OpenStack environments support IPv6 where needed
even though we have a lot of IPv4 running where we aren't feeling
immediate pressure. We're having to turn internal applications away
from our OpenStack based cloud because they require IPv6 and we
can't provide it.

We're actively searching for workarounds but none of them are
attractive.
