The metric system has been legal in the US since 1895 when the US agreed to "adopt" it in exchange for France agreeing to Greenwich, England, for the Prime Meridian.

Whether one regards IPv6 as "ready for prime-time" depends upon location. IPv6 appears to represent a metric measurement in the only industrially developed nation, despite a 1975 act of Congress, still is using fahrenheit, ounce, pound, inch, feet, and mile. There will always be problems offering an excuse not to adopt change, even when the rest of world has. Oddly, a 2x4 is neither, but might be required to promote change. -Doug _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
