I don't think so. Several big corps are supporting it: Sun, Cisco, Nokia and Microsoft are just a few names. DARPA planned to start interoperability tests in Jan 2004 (http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/10/22/1755258), and modifying programs aren't a big trouble, since its API is well standardized (RFC 3493 and RFC 3542). Another good example, Sun already have a source convertion tool to help developers in their migration. A huge pile of daemons already works natively in IPv6. Even Quake has a IPv6 port -- both server and client.
