FYI. I hope what Randy reveals is not 100% true, but it maybe so very much. See his presentation, URL below.

Dave

Izumi and others may find this paper interesting in respect of IPv6/IPv4
interoperability.

http://www.nanog.org/mtg-0710/presentations/Bush-v6-op-reality.pdf

It's from Randy Bush, very much an IETF stalwart and true believer. Randy
Bush has compared the IPv6 rollout (starting from 1995) with the war in Iraq
-  "no transition plan, declared victory before the hard part started, no
real long term plan, no realistic estimation of costs, no support for the
folk on the front lines [and continual declaration that] victory will be
next month" –

To which comparison I would add acute embarrassment at the failure, which
leads to denial and coverups and all sorts of attempts to wish the problem
will go away.
