It's not just the research community. RIPE, ARIN and APNIC assign "official"
(ie. non 6bone) sTLA space. I've spoken to many people and the demand for
IPv6 grows. The only limiting factor is the implementation. Someone already
mentioned in this thread that Sun will release SunOS 5.8/Solaris 8 with
IPv6 (it's in beta at the moment).

I strongly suggest to not release 4.0 till the IPv6 import has been finished.
Beside the need for IPv6 it would be wrong to ship a release with a half-
complete implementation.

my 0.02 (euro cents of course ;-)
