Don't be mystified. I'm just frustrated that ipv6 isn't further down the line in terms of basic plug-n-play functionality. And it's easier to create straw men arguments and hurl blame at the IETF / vendors / everyone else than sit down and try to work through the problems. I'm human. So yes, I'm fully aware that the straw man of suggesting that ipv4 be disabled at an ietf meeting would cause breakage for reasons unrelated to the ra/dhcp mess, and more to do with lack of endpoint availability / operating system problems / etc (all unrelated to the ietf). However, that doesn't mean that I feel less frustrated that mistakes of the past are coming back to haunt us. Nick
