And don't get me wrong. I'm not advocating against v6. I'm merely explaining how
difficult it can be to migrate. In most large companies, the network is like 
PG&E (the power utility California). If it works, nobody says well done. But if
the power is out, everyone gets angry and asks why we have fools operating the
power grid. 

Indeed… It will be interesting to see how these CxOs with limited budges react
when backbones finally start turning off IPv4 and they discover that their network
is burning down because of years neglecting the IPv6 brush growing all around
them.
