Who is the layman in this story? Almost every system I work with at home =
and in the datacenter has IPv6 turned on by default. If someone wandered =

the fact that any number of developers have been confused by =93::=94 =
being somewhere in their world now. Those people don=92t care about the =
network, or IPv4 vs IPv6. It would just work.
Now, if layman =3D=3D Network Operators, and Networking people at =
Corporations, well, there you might be right.
