For such profitable business as mainframes, IBM has to be in a hurry to
implement ipv6 stack ASAP. Otherwise it will be one more minus for
IBM. I'm really wondering that nobody of IBM customers asked for ipv6
support yet? 

But, even to be the first one: Yes, we, like mainframe customers of IBM
and company which is paying enough money for licensing on monthly basis,
we demand IPv6 stack in OS/390. On which release it will be available: R9?
