I would pitch it as follows: We need to at least have IPv6 access to troubleshoot/understand customers that have

That's a great point, but my guess is that the suits will say that since none of their customers are using IPv6, 
there's no urgency (yes, I know, it's better to be prepared ahead of time; but foresight doesn't generally carry much 
weight in quarterly-driven enterprises).
