And if you're not working on deploying IPv6 now, will you be able to
survive the delay when something critical *does* come online and you
need 18 months or whatever to deploy?

Heck - we started deploying in Feb 1997 or so, and as I write this, MRTG is
reporting that about 5% of our off-campus traffic is via IPv6 - probably due to
the fact that we hit Google and Youtube that way.  But we *still* have gear and
software that doesn't play nice (though almost all of that is our own internal
headaches and not very visible to end users - their connectivity works).
