if "not powerful enough" actually means "not enough RAM and/or flash
memory" and they are talking about dual stacking rather than
*replacing* IPv4 with IPv6, their statement actually makes sense.

The online data sheet hints that the 860 series has both flash and RAM
soldered on-board, so they are designed for a mostly fixed set of
functionalities.  If that didn't include IPv6 from the beginning, then
retrofitting it can be infeasible.

If you plan to gain weight, don't buy tight-fitting pants.


Cheers,
