I don't know that this is a practical option... for say some systems I
know that don't do v6 properly or at all, and which have buying cycles
on the 10yr horizon, not 2yrs/etc.
BUT... so what? you can do v4/v6 on the same LAN, right? just only use
the v4 bits for those devices?
I don't think 'eh, toss out your crap, buy new crap' is the right
message to send. 'you can cohabitate, this isn't virginia' is though.
