FWIW, there are typically notable differences in v6 feature parity vs 
v4.  So for those folks that are actually using this stuff "supports 
v6 -- check!" isn't good enough and may result in some nasty surprises 
later on.

For example, Netscreens cannot presently filter IPv6 in transparent 
(bridged) mode, only in routed mode.  The feature is AFAIK in the 
roadmap but over a year away.
