[address-policy-wg] DRAFT: RIPE Community Resolution on IPv4 Depletion and Deployment of IPv6

Well, I don't agree you're not part of the community. Being subscriber and
poster to the mailing is a qualifier for being a member :-)

Agree with Florian and you. It is needed to say something to remind vendors
that market is already asking for IPv6 support. I don't think they should
just wait for the demand to come, because then it will be late. So a warning
to them is a good thing. Same for software developers, they should realize
that they can take advantage of IPv6 NOW, because even if there are no
native access providers yet, transition is available in end-hosts.

There is no immediate need for low costs CPEs, of course is good to have,
but transition tools in end-hosts already deliver the same, until access
providers provide dual stack, then of course, CPEs with allow dual stack on
the WAN link are needed.

Regards,
Jordi
