And at what point during that time did they have any vendor gear they could purchase that -would- support v6? At -best- during the last 5 years, but I'd put money on that even today they can't purchase gear with adequate v6 support.
Supply and demand. There was no demand (most of my vendors didn't get any requests/questions concerning IPv6 until roughly 6 months ago). J and C have had considerable support (though still a work in progress) for some time, though I'd agree that 5 years sounds about right (it takes 1 large core network to push C/J into implementing base IPv6, but it was originally around that customer's desires and not multipurpose).
