What are the advantages/disadvantages of running IPv6 now?

general

Hi,

New server setup and I see I have an IPv6 address on eth0.. I am setting up CSF for my firewall and it has a section for IPv6 rules.. So really I am going to have to be aware of two firewalls..

What are the advantages to running IPv6?

Are there any disadvantages to not running it?

I know it the long (maybe very long) term and in a perfect world everything would be on IPv6 but whats the situation right NOW? :)

TIA
