    Yes, I've spoken to a number of ISPs who have deployed IPv6 in the
    core, and keep asking for deployment to the edge devices, and for
    updates to the provisioning systems. <br>

    Feels like a valid challenge to me. If you make changes to a
    production edge router, and something goes wrong, you can be fired.
    If you ignore what your manager tells you to work on, and work on
    IPv6 instead, you can be fired. If you spend some hours working on
    IPv6, and don't complete another project on time. . .  you see what
    I mean?<br>
    <br>
    No project can succeed without management support. <br>
    Good managers are aware of their limited resources, including money
    and hours of work, so they have to prioritize.<br>
    In my experience, it's cheaper to have a two-year (or five-year !?!)
    plan that is "add IPv6 whenever you touch something" rather than a
    six month plan to get everything done all at once. <br>
    <br>
    If every manager would figure out how long they can last before
    running out of IPv4 addresses, and how long before there's something
    they want that requires IPv6, I would be happy.<br>
    If they would figure out how long it will take them to deploy IPv6,
    I would be happier.<br>
    If they would figure out when they need to start before they need to
    start, I would be in bliss.<br>
