+1 for Fred

RJ please dont confuse  excuses with reality.

If you can give me a real example of somebody with a real reason to not
deploy ipv6 i would be interested.

I can give you real examples of large and small mobile, docsis, dsl,
university, enterprise campus, ... networks that have deployed ipv6 in the
real world.  Ipv6 deployment is very real.

Evolution is how we run the internet. The relevant WG weigh all the pros
and cons for any change, no need for some paper tiger to freeze  evolution.
