I've mentioned this previously. Without government-mandated standards, implementation could take years. We apply this approach to numerous areas; why should IP be an exception?

The DoD mandated v6 a few years back. The US government could easily dictate that all of their supplied software had to support it.

I suspect that (nearly) all of the supplied software already supports it. Software support for ipv6 is nearly ubiquitous; configuration for ipv6 is the holdup.
