This is certainly true. Let's not forget that a simple thing that strips 
the :ffff: and converts the remaining bits from hex to decimal (at least 
visually) would be needed to keep the clue impaired up and running. :)

The point remains, IPv6 is clearly becoming an operational topic for 
NANOG so the standard suite of tools we've finally gotten to some level 
of decency need to be upgraded or adjusted to support v6.
