The community that is doing deployment of IPv6 is somewhat more
technically astute than the average ISP netop.

If you are suggesting kicking away crutches from people who need
them then you really are not going to be much help. Outside MIT
LCS/AI and the IETF the idea of making a specification into
an intelligence test is not very popular.


The timescale that a solution has to be deployed in is very
tight, we have a large number of criminal gangs that are stealing
the life savings of seniors, many of whom do not exactly have the
best mental faculties at this point.

The reason that we have to redo PGP and S/MIME in the first place
is that people were desiging systems to amuse themselves not protect
real people from real risks. I am dealling with security for real 
people, not for geeks.
