Though I can understand what you feel after seeing too many "ATM is the
	technology for tomorrow" kind of adverts and seeing relatively small
	deployment of ATM to desktop, I need to make my point clear.
	Also, I don't want to start a holy war here.

	Can you give me the pointer to the source of your quote?
	I think he meant that, even when IPv6 is get deployed, IPv4 will stay
	there for very long time - IPv4 is already too well deployed and
	we can't completely remove IPv4 boxes from the world.

	We (I mean KAME guys and other people) are REAL serious about getting
	IPv6 deployed.  We are not just doing research/experiment, we really
	are trying to get IPv6 deployed.
	IPv6 is real serious topic, especially for asian region IMHO, since we
	will see more aggressive internet deployment in highly populated
	countries (china and india).  How can you serve 2 billion more people
	with IPv4?  What happens if every elementary school in China gets
	connected to the Internet?  Putting them behind NAT box is insane.
	Somehow I find some people in US look much more optimistic about this,
	I donno why.

	come visit Japan, I'll show you the IPv6 deployment around here.

itojun@yes, I'm logging into my mail server over IPv6 leased line.
