Two different questions. If I build a new bit of hardware and port an old bit of code to it, it will still do what the old bit of code did. Yes, there will be routers that implement IPv4 functionality; there are currently "new" routers that implement DECNET IV, XNS, Novell Netware, and OSI CLNS. Are there any that will do so with new functionality? Not on your life.

Are you expecting folks to build IPv4 routers that try to interpret source quench?
