Firstly, I've moved this discussion to dev. Please continue it there where it belongs.
Secondly, nothing is done within OSM on a whim. As others have said, a plan is produced and if there is widespread agreement it gets implemented when those that give their time can schedule it to do what's necessary. So, point me and everyone else to the wiki page where this issue is already presented. At the moment I see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/IPv6 which doesn't give one jot of information. It needs laying out, the arguments for and against and the reasons why one timescale over another is important. Until that is done I'm as sceptical as the next person.
