Given how much money vendors are making from MPLS, it might 
be safe to say they'll have support for it when v4 runs out. 
The only question is which customer will be big enough for 
them to get it in there :-).

My main concern is, given how much traffic is being carried 
by MPLS today (for better or worse), the earlier vendors put 
out native support for it in v6, the quicker bugs can be 
worked out. Even if support became available today, I'd 
probably feel safer not deploying it at least 3 releases 
from when it's launched, looking at the current state of v6 
debug (or lack thereof) for folk that have deployed it.

Cheers,

Mark.
