Which is a serious mistake in my opinion. Corporate world will not or 
can not shift out of IPv4 for many years. They will use firewalls to 
handle conversions (4 inside, 6 outside). The legacy software that runs 
within corporations always astounds me, but it is what it is. I honestly 
doubt that a single vendor out there cares one lick about the IETF, and 
they will provide whatever their customers demand; or lose the customer.
