[ipv6-wg] Clear Guidance for Enterprises

Hi Wilhelm

Me being a network engineer in an enterprise and an IPv6 enthusiast can say, that it even fails within the IT.
Many IT workers, from server administrators over network consultants to application / solution designers still ignore IPv6 as an avoidable burden.

Every time I talk vendor for a new product, they wince when I ask for IPv6 support - even today. And IPv6 support doesn't mean that all aspects are covered.
Even in the space of network vendors, you feel the difference of maturity for IPv6 related support compared to the IPv4 related aspects of the solution when you try to thoroughly set it up for IPv6.
The same goes on when going towards application space.

With these constraints it's hard to encourage our own IT folks to just roll it out.

>From my opinion, without companies being forced from top-down with a language managers understand (money or complaints), the move to IPv6 will remain at the micro-steps enthusiasts like me can afford and support.
