No. DS lite is a technology that allows the ISPs to upgrade to IPv6 while their clients do not. This is not the problem preventing IPv6 adoption, quite the contrary, clients support IPv6 from the Windows 2000 and Linux 2.1 era. What held back adoption is precisely that most ISPs don't bother with IPv6, which is an extra headache in configuration and man hours, as long as it provides no benefit to the end user.
The beauty of a backwards compatible packet format is that it takes the last mile ISP completely out of the equation, clients upgrade when they see benefits, and instantly get end-to-end connectivity. This is important for VoIP, push to mobiles etc.
> Still doesn't solve a problem of old clients not being able to access new servers
See sibling comment on why this is not the right problem to solve either.
