Also, you can under this proposal still have that Windows 3.1 workstation,
or even a DOS workstation using packet drivers.
All it says is that 1) You have an IPv6 Assignment or Allocation from
ARIN, and 2) You have at least ONE workstation on it that is capable of
communicating using that IPv6 address space with ARIN.
It is NOT a requirement to place IPv6 everywhere in your network, although
in todays world that is getting to be more and more desirable.
And just FYI, there is a third party winsock that will allow you to use
that workstation on an IPv6 network, along with packet drivers for dos,
that also use IPv6. Windows has had IPv6 support since W2K, almost 20
years ago. This requirement is NOT a hardship, just a friendly jolt in
the correct direction for the future.

What do you normally do when hardware or software hits EOL?
I am serious. If ARIN generates more work for me, I will explore all
options to be compensated.
Look, you are free to run Windows 3.1 on your 10BASE2 network, if that makes
less work for you, and less work is a variable you optimize for in your
networks. This is, however, 2019. IPv6 has been around for a while. IPv4
has been officially depleted for years now. IPv4 being considered the
"legacy Internet" is not that many years away. Is it more work to get ahead
of the curve, or play catch up?
