Absolutely concur -- it's a really hard sell to enterprises in the
U.S. for any compelling reason, at least right now, why they should
take great pains (ad it would be *great* pain) to move to IPv6 while
their IPv4 networks work just fine.

Also, IPv6 introduces some serious security concerns, and until they
are properly addressed, they will be a serious barrier to even
considering it.
