Another question to ask is:
"Do you wish the IBM mainframe to be able
to communicate with Microsoft IPv6 platforms,
Cisco, 3Com, Bay, Lucent, [insert favorite vendor here]
networks in the 1-10 year future?"

Are you expecting IBM Mainframes to be able to communicate to the
billions
of next-generation phones, TVs, refrigeraters etc etc that can't
possibly
fit into IPv4 address space and which will need IPv6's QOS, encryption,
flow control and so on?
