while possibly not a huge concern for the afs community, the US government is requiring ipv6 capability on future and current services.
from http://www.cio.gov/documents/IPv6memofinal.pdf, Upgrade public/external facing servers and services (e.g. web, email, DNS, ISP services, etc) to operationally use native IPv6 by the end of FY 20121; Upgrade internal client applications that communicate with public Internet servers and supporting enterprise networks to operationally use native IPv6 by the end of FY 2014; it is distressing to the admins to tell their managers "it can't be done" for afs.
