I agree entirely! Too many people are blaming others for their own short sightedness, and frankly it's no one's fault but their own.

Decide with your wallet.  Just do not buy the stuff that cannot do IPv6 -
there is enough stuff available today (and has been since many years)
that will happily do IPv6 at the same speed as IPv4.

For loadbalancers, at least F5 and Citrix Netscaler never had this
"IPv6 in software only" tax.

(And do not complain *now* that you did not listen to us telling everyone
for the last 10+ years that "if you buy new gear, make sure that it will
do proper IPv6 when you decide to turn it on, when you're ready")
