no.  what we need is more religious v6 fanatics to make use of v6 hard
to roll out on existing networks.  after all, v6 is soooo wonderful we
should be happy to double our opex for the privilege of using such a
fantastic protocol.

v6 fanaticism has done vastly more damage to v6 deployment than the v6
haters.  arrogance kills.
