If you're an internet professional you are a negligent one if by
now you are not ensuring all you build quietly includes IPv6, no
customer should need to know to ask for it. It's not like it
needs different kit.

No, it's just that (at least in my case at several different
companies) we're so focused by management on getting the sale
done by augmenting the existing network there is not enough 
time to devote to **planning an entire network from the 
ground up**, then working your plan.  The other way (just 
start configuring stuff) is replete with troubles.

BTW, I have been the IPv6 loudmouth every time, but I don't 
get any traction at all in any of the companies I've worked 
for.  Eyes gloss over and someone quickly changes the 
conversation.  Then we talk about sizing subnets and stuff...
