Brian,

Guilt trip? Heck, I don't care if the latecomers harm themselves with
their deployment choices. I do care if they harm me. I hope you care
if they harm you.

If you have to bend over backwards to continue talking to them on
IPv4, it seems to me like that harms you. You don't agree?

I would support a 1-click IPv6 initial assignment/allocation process.
Would you care to draft a policy proposal?
