actually, I think we do agree.  *existing* systems can migrate to IPv6 
with a software upgrade, and it's important to have a story for existing
systems.. but my guess is that the vast majority of IPv6 systems in the 
long run will not be general-purpose computers (existing or new), but 
fixed-function appliances that will ship with IPv6 built-in.
