True.  Just that with the explosion of wireless networks and the demand on
the private address space, I see a lot of pain if we ignore the IPv6 option
in the long run.  Of course, we will be needing gateways, and will initially
have to support IPv4, but the more I think about it, the more I feel IPv6 is
going to be less hassle.

We have one big advantage - we're a new network - less migration pains :-).

Well, that might be a good tactic.  Also eliminates the risk of clashing
with peoples' private allocations.  However, one can't be sure there won't
be ramifications...
