What CIOs, CFOs, etc., should also understand is that the drivers for 
IPv6 adoption, such as IPv4 run-out and the increasing potential for 
v6-only users and resources appearing on the Internet, has very little 
to do with how much IPv6 traffic is currently on the Internet.  *Before* 
such a v6-only resource appears--one that your users need--you had 
better be ready.

Peer pressure (or lack thereof) shouldn't trump common sense.
