Dave, Michael, et al:

When these users said "we want security" I reacted *exactly* as you
did: what about functionality, smooth transition, cost...?
They said, more or less, "yes, yes, but we want security most."

Now, that should not lead to inversion of the criteria list.
It was obvious that they had not thought through the
implications. What is clear is that industrial users will be
unhappy if their final perception is that IPv7 is no more secure
than IPv4, even if that is the inevitable result.
