For it to "take off", the very same people who have dragged their heels
deploying IPv6 will need to suddenly jump up and upgrade all their gear
and personnel to support a *third* protocol.

Oh, and you're going to need support buy-in from *at least* Microsoft, Apple,
Linux, Cisco, Juniper, and a significant chunk of major makers of CPE gear.

What's the business case for all these stakeholders to buy into EZIP?  For
both the "We already do IPv6" and "We don't do IP6v" cases?
