I fully agree and there is little one can do against stupidity, but that
is why these and other drafts are coming out, the problem with that
though is getting people to actually read them, and say yourself, are
you really reading everything (well, on this list folks might actually ;).

Maybe it would be a good thing to ask the $endors to include a short but
very red "IPv6 Do's and Don't List" with every sale they make?

Then at least folks can't claim they didn't know about it.

Greets,
