My next question would be "How many times will that get extended/pushed
back because somebody screams loudly enough?". It will probably sunset
around the time that v6 starts to run out of gas and people start thinking
about IPv8 (assuming IPv7 would be treated like odd-numbered Linux kernel
releases like 2.3.x, 2.5.x, etc - never to see the light of day) :)
