Crypto is of far more interest to people than IPV6 right now, but even 
crypto hasn't managed to get any traction with developers. What chance 
does IPV6 have? Crypto is rather more difficult, but its sad that with 
its high level of importance to anyone who has really started to think 
about VoIP deployment (see this week's list discussion about DTMF over 
IP for banking) crypto isn't getting anywhere.
