Yes and no. If the ISPs and router guys do it right, the Joe the plumber never needs to know. It just works.. ;-)

Not if "they" do it right.

Isn't that over once native IPv6 becomes the rule rather than the exception?

Indeedd, but if done right, Joe the Plumber need not be bothered with that.

That is still unchartered territory for me. I have just one router and one /64 in use. It is enough for me right now, but I can see that having more than one subnet might be useful in some situations. I will cross that bridge when I get to it.

Of course they won't. Mistakes will be made.

You are a pessimist. ;-) I think it will not be that bad. Joe the Plumber has no idea what a LAN is. For him the modem/router is just the box that gives him access to the internet. His desktop, his smartphone, his tablet is connected to the internet. He doesn't know about IP numbers - v4 or v6 - he just knows that he is connected. He doesn't know that when the umbellical cord to the Internet is cut, his devices can still talk to each other.
Joe the plumber never set up a LAN that was NOT connected to the Internet.
They can with IPv4 and they still will be able with IPv6. But Joe the Plunber won't know and won't need to know.
