Because of two reasons:

1. The same reason as "why do people climb mountains".
- Because it's there.

2. Because in 5 or 10 years, people that have had early exposure to IPv6
and know half of the issues still unknown as of today will make twice as
much as people that don't and will lead the development of the "next
generation Internet" or whatever you want to call it.

Ask that very question again in 10 years?

Michel.
