I remember patching complete, functional v6 support into my 2.4.18 linux 
kernels, but it looks like the first v6 code appeared in 2.1.8, circa 
1996:

Looks like OpenVMS has has support since '03 or so, which is mostly
concurrent with support in the mainline Linux kernel.

Windows has had IPv6 support since W2K, almost 20 years ago.  This requirement is NOT a hardship, just a friendly jolt in the correct direction for the future.

IPv6 has been around for a while. IPv4 has been officially depleted for years now.  IPv4 being considered the "legacy Internet" is not that many years away.  Is it more work to get ahead of the curve, or play catch up?
