"the real internet" is v4 and v6. the v6 subset is atm a very small one,
but there are no doubts about its existence. Some ASes are starting to be
dual-stacked, some others are still v4-only.

the idea is not to have contents that are unavailable through ipv4.
IPv6 is simply a network layer.

that's not really the idea. the idea is to build a dual-stack global
internet (which in its v6 part will be a more scalable and extendable
one).
imho, flag days are generally a bad idea...
