Short of consumer education, how do you expect to resolve the issue where $CONSUMER walks into $BIG_BOX_CE_STORE and says "I need a router, what's the cheapest one you have?"
By making the answer "the cheapest is this FooTronics, but you're better off with this MegaBar. The FooTronics doesn't do IPv6 so it can't do X." Until there is an X that consumers care about, don't hold your breath. I can tell you from experience that the only practical effect of IPv6 on my home cable service is to make things periodically slow and flaky when T-W's internal routing flakes. Wahoo. I only leave it turned on because I know people at T-W who are using the problem reports to debug it. R's, John
