Where's the business case in caring about standards for any IPv6
implementation or SMTP or DNS or Ethernet in general at all?  Really,
proprietry implementions if lucky can make one so much more money.
But if you ask that question or if a vendor asks that question
shouldn't someone say "Thank you" and leave the questioner puzzled
on the answer?

If this is about "ops" not "ooops", I'd prefer (open) standards for
various reasons.  Where's the business case in that?  Easy, I waste
a lot less time to implement, find a problem, train people, can pick
different vendors, need a single implementation and not 42 different
(times the aformentioned arguments), ...   For a vendor that: saves
time, saves code, saves maintenance costs, saves hardware resources,
...  For a person who buys, it should make things cheaper, which in
turn for the ISP means that they may more likely upgrade the brick
sooner and adopt new things you would want to sell ..      But I am
missing on the "ops" topic now as well, ooops.
