I think that the above suggestion needs to define carefully who "we"
is in each sentence.  Because I am very far from convinced that the
"we" in each case is the same people, and also very far from convinced
that we are going to be able to "make" this happen, given our lack of
protocol police.  Operators have one incentive, which is to make their
customers stop calling; if our plan is to make IPv6 even less reliable
than it has been historically, I think the operators are going to point
us to the nearest short pier and tell us to take a long walk.

Best regards,

A
