Writing RFCs is probably the first 10% to completion.

You know how long it takes for multiple vendor implementations to get  
released, documentation to be complete and accurate? And then the long  
evaluation cycle for deployment and then what you learn through this  
process needs to be fed back in. And sometimes you have to restart  
some of these steps?

Of course we don't want to rush, but never assume we have time.

Did we assume we had time for Dual-Stack deployment so when IPv6-only  
sites get deployed (which might possibly happen in the next year or  
so), we could have IPv6 in the infrastructure? We missed that boat and  
we are in a heap of trouble now. Sad.
