Better wait until everyone at least *has* IPv6! I have yet to have IPv6
deployed on any of my employer's networks or get IPv6 service from any ISP
at my home. When I was at Apple in the 90's I was told that Apple needed
IPv6 by next year or "we were dead". Well Apple nearly died, but IPv6 had
nothing to do with that! And I still haven't experienced an IPv6
deployment! Yeah, I have run it a bit point-to-point to resolve technical
issues, but that isn't a "deployment" and not very interesting.

As much as we would like things to move faster, much of the world just
doesn't. Witness the e1000 discussion today for example. Hardware doesn't
vanish overnight, and I know that my ISP has a network full of CPE that
doesn't do IPv6, so I'm not expecting their status to change any time soon.

It would be great though.
