Brian,

I think you greatly overestimate the amount of work that's been done as
compared with the amount of work left to be done.  There would still  
seem
to be a lot of maturity lacking in v6 products.  I recently saw an  
ICANN survey
that showed about 30% of firewall products support v6.

Besides, many of the proposals might not require starting over from  
scratch.

Finally, development manager will do what the market requires.  If  
something
else will end up with more revenue than v6, it will get implemented more
quickly than v6.

The key to the whole equation is finding the appropriate forcing  
functions to get people
to deploy.  Motivation is everything.

Tony
